@Krochetkids : Perfect Fathers Day Gift!
For all of us procrastinators, it’s really time to start thinking about what you want to buy your Dad this year for Father’s Day. It’s only 10 days away!! My dad always tells me, that it is important to help the needy and that he would rather me give charity with the money that I would have spent on him.
When I saw these adorable pastel colored bow-ties (PASTEL ALERT!! – who says dads can’t be rocking the spring trend too?) all I thought was, “Wow! these are so cute!” I was even more excited when I found out what Krochet Kids Int. was all about. Get this: Krochet Kids is a non profit organization that helps end poverty in developing nations by teaching them how to knit and crochet adorable products, educate them and give them the tools they need to plan for their future.
These bow-ties are perfect for Father’s Day! Think about it…. You are helping women in Uganda, Africa and you are getting your dad a super trendy bow-tie. This might even be great for a gift for your older brother.
These bow-ties retail for $21.95 and each of the bow-ties is hand-crafted and signed by the woman that made it. These bow-ties definitely opt for a more trendy & preppy look. Not only do they come in 2 gorgeous pastel colors, baby blue and orange but they also have a navy and white striped one which works for the nautical trend. For the more serious occasion they have a navy and a mauve crocheted bow-tie perfect for a wedding or work event.
This is a quick outfit I put together for a casual look using the bow-tie on Polyvore.

Conflict in Congo
Conflict in the Congo-Disease as a Weapon-5.4 Million dead and rising –Brent FosterCongo’s death rates are far higher than elsewhere in Africa according to IRC. The biggest killers today are preventable illnesses like malaria, and diarrhea. Most of these illnesses could be easily treated if it wasn’t for inaccessibility
Congo’s death rates are far higher than elsewhere in Africa according to IRC. The biggest killers today are preventable illnesses like malaria, and diarrhea. Most of these illnesses could be easily treated if it wasn’t for inaccessibility.
I hope to document the people directly affected by the conflict. This is a war in which disease is one of the major weapons. People are prevented to access basic health care and sanitation as they remain displaced and often fleeing villages and refugee camps due to the conflict.
The photo essay and multimedia package that I would shoot would follow the people directly affected by the conflict documenting their daily lives using still photography, audio, and video. The end result would be a package of powerful still photos, and interviews of people telling their stories as they live them, from their point of view.Please vote to help tell this story.
