Genuine Hand Made in Africa Nigerian Red Leather Bracelet

Description

In your mind you creep into a dark green hammock and let the hot, wet air close in around you. Vines sway slightly in a almost nonexistent breeze and mosquitoes buzz past your ears. Cicadas chatter and buzz in the backdrop like theme music and somewhere in the distance the cry of a strange bird rises to the forefront. Lead singer….
Drums beat under your feet and a strange feeling begins to come over you. You no longer know where you are but you still have not opened your eyes… Are you still in Florida? Still safely contained in the United States of America?
The answer is yes… and no….
The Earth is much, much older than we are able to prove with science. With that said, Gaia has changed her clothes many times over many years; but we will begin with 300 Million years ago, when the idea of our very existence as humans, floated around on large land masses in an infinite ocean. Florida was once part of those lands.
Gondwana, the continent which would later split apart to become Africa and South America, and a land mass that would become the world as we know it.
It took three world events to break Pangaea apart completely. It was the first one that left behind a small portion of that continent and country that would later be named Africa.
Florida would be that small portion.
Bright red leather bracelets with White accents, handmade in Africa.
There is a super crisis happening in the Tigray region of Ethiopia right now. A political conflict has erupted into acts of violence that are incomprehensible. As usual in these events, the innocent people of the region, have become victims of horrible crimes against humanity and now must run for their lives.
In November of 2020, the
Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in
Aksum
, keepers of the
Ark of the Covenant, were attacked and dragged out of the building. Some 800 refugees who had come to the church for safety were massacred trying to defend the church with sticks. Since news of this atrocity came out in February of this year, things have only gotten worse and do not seem to get better. Of course, there is no intervention from other countries.
There is some help available for the thousands of refugees though. Many charitable organizations have entered the region and have set up camps and peace zones where possible in nearby Sudan. One of those is the United Nations and their
High Commissioner for Refugees
, otherwise known as the UNHCR. The UN Refugee Agency.
It is hard to sit in comfort while one knows that their fellow man runs in terror, being chopped and shot down as they go. I sell these products handmade in a land that has seen better days. Days without violence, days of gold and prosperity.
A donation of 10% of the sales of this product will go to the UNHCR USA Ethiopia Tigray Emergency Fund. They have currently set up shop and are not going anywhere any time soon. Thank God.
A purchase is not needed either.
