All of these bracelets are made from recycled paper.

Each sheet of paper - be it a magazine, a poster, or even a cigarette paper - is cut into long triangular strips.  Each triangle is then rolled into a tight ball to make the shape of the bead.  The bead is then dipped into varnish to give its hardness.

BHWs (Barangay (village) Healhcare Workers) are volunteer healthcare workers.   They receive no money from the government and work many hours for no finaincial reward.

Meaningful Volunteer is about to launch it's RYE School Initiative in Uganda.  Part of the program will be increasing the computer literacy of local Ugandans.  Currently, we have three netbook computers (kindly donated by Bob Bozsa) but we need more computers so as to reach even more Ugandans.  We will take the students through topics such as Windows, Word, Excel and so on.  Even just the ability to type will open up many doors for them.
