My Charitable Headband

 

Today at school my friend visited during lunch.  He lives in Haiti now, his whole family moved there in February to help rebuild their city after the earthquake. I was pretty excited to see him. During his visit he was selling these headbands he brought with him from Haiti. & if my obsession of headbands wasn't enough to get me to buy one, the back story definitely was.

So these headbands are made by amputee women that lost either an arm or leg due to the earthquake. In their country they aren't viewed as a whole person so this is the only job they can ever have. Each one costs $10 however $5 goes to the individual woman who made it. $5 might not sound like much to some of you, but there it's an average weeks pay. So to receive that for every band they braid is great.

If any of you are interested in purchasing one comment below & I will try to get the website from my friend!

Headband Collection

This is my ever growing collection of head bands! The one on the farthest left is a really old one that is brown & black, the nest one is a think black one, then a thin black one, next a studded super thick one, then a wavy black one, then a crystal and black one, then a super thick purple one, then a light pink thin one, then a bright pink thin shimmery one, then a thin nude one, then a small pearl one, then a white thin one, then a reflective thin silver one, then a powder blue thin one & lastly an average sized royal blue shimmery one! Geez, I have quite the array of headbands, this doesn't even include all the fabric ones or the other ones I use that my sister and mom own.If you know of anywhere that sells cute green & red ones, let me know those are the two colors that I am missing.
