HOW Jewelry Can Really Make a Difference
Posted by Mann Nolan | Filed under HOW Jewelry
H.O.W. is an acronym for Helping Orphans and Widows. All over the the country women are hosting HOW? Jewelry parties to help the women of Africa. The objective is to help women living with HIV/AIDS to break the cycle of poverty while supporting themselves and the grandchildren they have been left to raise. Heart for Africa trip volunteers can use HOW? for fundraising if you are registered for a service trip prior to hosting a party. You can sell the jewelry to fundraise for that trip with 30% of your sales going to your volunteer account at Heart for Africa.
This beautiful jewelry is perfect for Christmas gifts, teachers gifts or for anyone special in your life. They are made from West African trade beads, camel bone, rolled paper, glass beads, semi-precious stones and many other materials that make each one unique and memorable.
A special bracelet has been designed with beautiful green Gazi beads to help raise funds to transport children to the Litsemba event in 2010. A second bracelet, filled with West African trade beads and a heart charm is being sold to raise funds to support the development of Project Canaan. Each bracelet costs $20.00 and $10.00 from each purchase will be donated to the appropriate project. To TAKE ACTION and order yours today go to www.howjewelry.com.
