Krochet Kids International

For those of you who have not already checked out http://www.krochetkids.org/, you should definitely get on it. I got my hat in the mail today and thought it was a perfect time to share some information about this cause in attempt to spread the word!

Krochet Kids International is a non-profit organization that provides work and education in poverty-stricken countries such as Peru and Uganda. By simply teaching the skill of crocheting to people in need of a brighter future, this organization is giving many individuals just that. The cause is quickly growing and you can help it do so through buying merchandise through their website AND looking fashionable. :)

Here's mine!

A very special and personal thanks to Adong 'Esther' (http://www.krochetkids.org/projects/ladies/adong-estar/) for providing me with a beautiful hat to keep me warm this winter! What a unique experience KK provides by taking out the middle man (overly successful large corporations...) and making it possible to bring people that much closer together, putting the quality of human connection back into the act of buying and selling. 

Also, thank you Astin Green who, after being shocked to hear that I would rather have this for my birthday than something from Victoria Secret, graciously ordered this for me!

Just another example of the idea that it IS, in fact, possible to be fashionable and aware...
