Because last week i mentioned a few organizations with a vision to benefit the underpriviledged around the nations, i decided to emphasize on each, starting with Invisible Children:

This organization focuses on the war in Uganda, which has been called the most neglected humanitarian crisis in the world today, leaving nearly two million innocent civilians caught in the middle. A young boy named Innocent walks into the city every night, rain or shine. Not free to sleep at home, he commutes in the darkness of night for fear of being abducted by the rebel army.

"White is for Innocent" is one of eight bracelets created through Invisible Children's Bracelet Campaign. Each bracelet is a different color, and each color represents an individual child. These colored bracelets come with an inspiring short film that provides awareness of the situation in Uganda. The bracelets are handmade in Uganda out of reed that is dyed black. The wire is copper, coated in rubber that is painted for each particular bracelet campaign. Once sold, the money raised helps sustain valuable programs on both sides of the globe.

It is a bracelet that comes full circle.
