Invisible Children is a charity that helps the impoverished children of Northern Uganda, in 2005 they started the
Bracelet Campaign. Each bracelet is handmade in Uganda from reed and recycled wire and comes with a short film that tells the story of a child who has been affected by the war . After decades of war and upheaval, northern Uganda's economy has been decimated. Millions have been relocated to camps where they must depend on rations from international aid. The bracelet program provides work to the displaced families, and provides them with much needed income.
Bracelets come in four different styles, and cost
$20. What a great conversation piece, you can educate people by wearing one, and feel fabulous about helping a person in need.

Invisible Children is a great charity...they do some really great things with the money they get and they also hold some cool events, like Displace Me where everyone gathers and builds a tent out of cardboard and is only allowed a bottle of water and some saltines for the night. They actually held the most recent one on the 28th.
