Do you know that this beautiful necklace is made from?
... it's made from recycled paper! that's amazing isn't it? these kind of necklaces are made by women in Uganda. They roll glossy paper from old used magazines to make each bead, then they varnish the beads, and turn them into this astonishing jewelry. The women who make these are part of a club called the "Kind Mothers Project" which is an association initiated by eight Ugandan mothers who felt touched by the plight of children living under difficult conditions in their country. They used this as a contribution to help improve the situation and the lives of these unfortunate children. The money raised goes towards the education of those children.
This indeed touches my heart, but it also amazes me that they make these necklaces with paper! and that they are doing it for a great reason, to help children with difficult conditions. Such a great thing can come from being generous. Though this project wouldn't be easy for just anyone to make and not to mention it would probably be very time consuming, it reflects those of the Kind Mothers Project and many other cultures that happen to make this jewelry. This jewelry is truly amazing and can be related to World Geography because it is made in Uganda and is a part of their culture, and it can also be related to science because its all recycled and the way they process it to make it into jewelry.
I hope you were inspired and as astonished as i was about this topic and I hope you enjoyed my blog this week!
Wow! Those necklaces that these women make are beautiful, and they seem like something that is 100% made of love! If I could ever find where to buy one, then indeed I probably would. These are amazing pieces of art that women spend their time on, not to benefit themselves, but to benefit others, which I think is just truly amazing! If only I could find the materials to make these beautiful creations, I would pick up the supplies immediately and make one right away!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool. I would so buy one because I've never seen something like this before. These women are amazing people to do this for the children also. I wish I knew how to make jewelry from paper cause I would definitely help them make some of these necklaces. I'm just glad that they are doing this for the kids. The world seriously needs more people like the women.
