Paper to Pearls, an initiative of Voices for Global Change, launched their PSA campaign this season using the following ad shown on the left. The banner below the photo reads "Can you believe these beads are made out of recycled paper?"
The campaign was created to generate awareness about the paper jewelry made from recycled paper by the women of northern Uganda who survived the recent conflicts. With no other means available to support themselves, while living in refugee camps waiting for an end to the civil war and its aftermath, the women used their knowledge and tradition of making paper jewelry to generate an income.
This is a great story, and there is more to come. The beaders can use your support. To learn more and to buy their beautiful jewelry go to:
