Looking back at old pictures of myself from my Long Island days, there are a few things that stand out...or in the case of my hair- stand up. I loved all things "loud" from my thick eyeliner to the jangly bracelets hanging loose on my wrists. Every time I walked, my arms seemed to make the sound of an on-coming freight train.
Years later, with my hair a foot shorter sporting wrinkles instead of Maybelline, I can look back on that time period and laugh at the ridiculousness of adolescence. I can laugh from the security of my happy home and loving parents but I know it's a luxury that not everyone has.
Project 12 has partnered with Orphan Outreach to ask for help in providing hand-made bracelets for orphans in Russia. They can be hemp, woven, beaded or any way you can imagine. The only requirement is that they are hand-made. The bracelets will be distributed to children between ages 4-18.
