This Week

Bead for Life

Hello everyone. This week ASA is helping with Bead for Life, a program where volunteers sell merchandise made by women in Uganda to others across the globe. This program ensures that these women make above and beyond a living wage. ASA has signed up to help sell beads and jewelry throughout the week. Show support by buying some merchandise or by getting the word out! http://www.beadforlife.org/en/our-work/work-uganda/beading-program
