Check out the Acholi Beads blog: acholibeads.com/blog

Research among displaced Acholi people has shown that a woman who makes a good living spreads that benefit to about 20 people around her – she feeds her children and sends them to school; she cares for her nieces, nephews and grandchildren; she helps her brothers, sisters and parents meet their financial needs. So each time we partner with a new woman, we know 20 lives are improved.

While Marc & Pearl is not quite social media like Facebook, Twitter, or Brightkite, one could say that the jewelry is “social” and the designs are physically “media”.

And we are closing our doors due to the struggling economy like some other tech companies, so there’s more that’s in common than not.

Matt talk’s about our final 75%-80% off jewelry clearance so check it out and pass along the word.
