Akun Bracelet


I was so pleasantly surprised yesterday afternoon when I arrived home from work and found this in my mailbox! :



Well, obviously not ALL of that, BUT, I received one of my ordered Akun bracelets from the Somaly Mam Foundation (a foundation based in the United States that supports the freedom of human [sex] trafficking victims in Cambodia.)

The cool thing about these bracelets is, not only are they helping rescue victims of human trafficking, they are MADE by survivors of human trafficking. This means that each and every bracelet is unique and different from the next. Colors, designs, etc all vary from bracelet to bracelet and you never know what will come in the mail when you order one!

I received a beautiful, bright, purple bracelet yesterday and along with it came a card describing the bracelet's importance and what it means to the Somaly Mam Foundation when you buy one. The bracelets are called "Akun," meaning, "thank you," in Cambodian. Each time you look down at your wrist and see your bracelet, you will be reminded of the fight against trafficking and the survivors who are being helped all around the world by foundations like SMF. Please support this foundation. Click Here for more information on the foundation.

At just $15/each, how can you NOT support this awesome cause?!

Order yours today, here!
