Bought these handmade bracelets, for my mom for her birthday, from a lady named Dalia, selling them on the beach. She walks up and down the beach 6 days per week selling her jewelry, to earn a living to provide for her two daughters! I highly recommend buying these handmade items when traveling abroad, to support the locals, AND, to ask them their story so that you have a personal understanding of how rough life can be, and how your single purchase can make a difference!
I also bought this friendship bracelet from a 14-year-old boy who was selling them for $3 to earn money to go to school. $3 may not sound like much, but can be a big deal to some. Am I certain that this boy really was earning money for school? No, I am not! But, I'm a sucker for helping people out, and in the grand scheme of things, what is $3?
