*SMILES* I love you too  (((((((((((Lisa)))))))))))  smiley: happy

Have you checked out *Beads for Life* ?
I believe they are headquartered in Colorado..
Somewhere there is a video of a woman
Who these two gals found while traveling in Uganda..

The men were all gone due to murder and war,
And the women were pounding rocks to make gravel for less than one dollar a day.

The travellers said it was so sad and bleak...
And then they found this ONE woman,
Who was making paper beads.

She had piles of necklaces beside her and the two travellers bought EVERYTHING from her,
Took it to the US, and sold every piece and then returned to Uganda and gave the woman every cent.

They bought everything she had again and SOON,
ALL the women in that village were making beads..
The video show the first beadmaker, after a short while,
Grinning from ear to ear...hopping up and down,
Saying...
THIS IS MY HOME NOW!!!
THIS IS MY HEARTH!!!!!
MY FOOD!!!!

She was dressed in beautifuls colors, scarves and her smile was just infectious and beautiful.

THAT is a REAL *Stimulus Package*, in my opinion.
