Not For Sale
I love A Thousand Villages. It was a shop closing in Greensboro and I love a good bargain. This is a handmade basket from Rwanda, Africa. My celebrity boss, a documentary filmmaker, filmed a movie in Rwanda the same year as Hotel Rwanda. We all know it was a critically acclaimed film. Francine LeFrak decided to change the lives of women she met there and started Same Sky teaching the victims of genocide to make beautiful, beaded jewelry and sold them at NYC Bergdorf's - all proceeds led to the women getting healthy - no more rape, HIV/AIDS, their children received medication and were healthy and they got education, some college and own their own homes.
