my first post

This is my first attempt at blogging and my first post.  I decided that my first post should be about something I think is really special.  I think Lightgivesheat.org is a good topic.  This organization helps women in Africa be self sufficient and able to support their family.  On top of that the products are great.  I love the bracelets, necklaces and earrings.  They are all handmade using paper to make the beads.

With the holidays right around the corner you should check them out.

Light Gives Heat: A 501c(3) Non-Profit, based in Grand Junction, CO (with a second location in Jinja, Uganda and surrounding areas). 

In Uganda they partner with local Artisans to create consistent incomes where there once was none. Through their  Brands SUUBI and EPOH, they create long-term partnerships with Artisans to create beautiful handmade products that will soon grace the shoulders, necks, and wrists of fashion conscious consumers in America and beyond.  

The website is www.lightgivesheat.org.  What are you waiting for check them out now!
