peace cord bracelets...

a friend of mine told me about peace cord bracelets so i decided to check them out for myself. here's their blurb about them...

"Peace Cord™ is a bracelet hand woven by women in Afghanistan from military grade parachute cord and uniform buttons - the same materials our soldiers use and wear. Peace Cord™ is your tie to our troops.

Peace Cord™ is a partnership between ARZU STUDIO HOPE and Spirit of America, like-minded nonprofit organizations affecting positive change in communities across Afghanistan. Production of Peace Cord™ creates jobs for impoverished Afghan women, delivers access to education and healthcare, and provides funds to U.S. troops for humanitarian projects to supply necessities like shoes, food and school books to isolated Afghan communities."


clever idea and a good cause, i can get behind these for sure!
