Thirty-One Bits

       After scouring the world-wide web for hours in search of the perfect post... In actuality, I was checking my Facebook.  When suddenly (dramatic pause) I came across one of the ads that they feature to the right of the page on the site.  One of the ads was titled '31 Bits'.  This caught my attention for some reason.  As I watched a video going into detail about this organization that supports Ugandan women though beadwork.  The women of the village tell a brief moment in their lives that has impacted them and their families most. 
       One woman tells of how one morning she is dropping-off her child at school, then the next day she doesn't come home.  She later finds out her child has been abducted while at school.  She has never once again seen her little girl.  Another tells of how she has been affected by HIV.  These are the women whose lives have been impacted the most by this organization's help.
       Now, onto how the women of Uganda play a part in '31 Bits' and 'Reef'.  The Ugandan women are the people who make the beads.  The money that is profited off of the beadwork made by them, goes to their village in helping the environment around them become a stable place for growth.
       I, personally, feel strongly for the many women of poverty-stricken areas in Africa.  I love to help in anyway that I can for these women.  That is why I am purchasing a set of beads (featured below).  I feel like being able to give to people, and yet still receive something beautiful out of it...  That is a truly phenomenal thing.
       
   What I am purchasing...
