A scarf movement

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, I'm sure you have heard of the "One for one" slogan from Tom's shoes.

Well, my rock star friend who initiated and was the driving force behind our Cambodia project, just started her own business that has a very similar movement.  How many people do you personally know who followed their dreams and started their own business before the age of thirty?  And whose business model is making an impact in a needy community???

You guys, I am so incredibly proud of her.  After traveling to Cambodia, it became her dream to not only go back, but to give back.  From Krama Wheel's facebook site:

"For each scarf you purchase:
*one weaver is paid fairly, treated respectfully, & better able to support her family.
*one local seamstress is paid to sew a school uniform.
*one child gets a uniform so he or she can attend school.

We deepen the impact by re-investing in the country's future.  You are at the core of our movement.  When you wrap yourself in one of our scarves, you wrap a child in a sense of hope and self-worth.

It empowers.  It impacts.  It cycles."

Again, seriously so proud.  I had the honor of attending Krama Wheel's private pre-launch party this evening and got to check out the beautiful scarves first hand!

Not only are these scarves well made and beautiful, but each purchase helps three people in need.  Can you say the same for most of things you buy?

Christmas is not too far away ... do yourself a favor and check out Krama Wheel's merchandise and help out a good cause!  To make things even sweeter, you can get free shipping for the whole week!
