Howdy lovelies.
Today is the official start of Noonday Week in my world.
It's a self-proclaimed week-long celebration of the awesome organization
that I have the privilege to represent~
Today, I am headed down to volunteer my time for
Boutique for a Week.
It's my most favorite affordable way to dress my almost 4 year old
in fashionable and fun clothing and shoes.
Isaac has started to dump lots and lots of rain on us,
so I'm thinking it will be a dreary/chilly day inside with the a/c.
Perfect {rare} chance to bust out a light sweater in Florida!
I'm wearing a bright purple shirt that I scored
at my favorite bargain store in Ohio for like $5.99 or something.
I've paired it with the This Way necklace
which is an awesome statement piece
that puts the cherry on top of any outfit.
The necklace is hand-beaded by our artisan group in India.
"There are 20 to 65 million bonded laborers in India,
despite substantive and clear laws prohibiting this.
A person becomes a bonded laborer when their labor
is demanded as a means of repayment for a loan.
The person is then tricked or trapped into working for very little or no pay,
often for seven days a week.
The value of their work is invariably greater than the original sum of money borrowed.
The forced labor system is present in many industries and those perpetrators
who violate Indian laws to compel the labor of others infringe
upon citizens' most fundamental rights.
Noonday Collection partners with
many different jewelry-making groups in India
whose goal is to build long term equitable trading relationships
that ensure low-income artisans are truly being helped out of poverty
and will not become a bonded laborer.
Artisans are paid a livable wage and have safe working conditions,
access to healthcare and childcare, and on-going training and education."
