Treasures from Our Homeland-My Lacan Kwite Handmade Treasures

Elephant Grass Fabric Earrings handmade by the Lacan Kwite Uganda Artisans

Wow!!!  I ordered the 'Elephant Grass Fabric earrings and one of the Afrikan (African) paper bead stars' from the Paper Bead Works site that host the Kwite Essential Beads from Northern Uganda.  Both are totally FAB'PA!--lous!

I will definitely be transforming the star into a beautiful BEC neck jewel as well.   It truly is a rewarding feeling knowing that my purchase is helping a group of Afrikan women better their lives and the lives within the compound where they are living to escape potentially death if caught in the cross fire of war going on there.

As I wear these precious treasures and cherish the Afrikan star that means so much to them as well, I can't help but to acknowledge how blessed many of us are because we don't have to wake up in the types of distress that the Lacan Kwite people do.  Yet, they have a spirit that declares that they will rise triumphantly out the struggles that war creates for them everyday.

So, with that being said if you're reading this post and you haven't ordered anything yet from Paper Bead Works, please visit the site today and purchase something.  Be a Shero or Hero for someone far away today.

Until next time, keep REdiscovering and discovering the JOYS-N-RECYCLING!
