A dear friend thought I could use a night out and handed me something she said would be for my ears and for my heart as well. I opened the little bag and instantly put these earnings into my ears. Given the tiny business card, I turned and asked what the story was, she said it supports educations in an area of Africa and by wearing these earrings you will begin to heal yourself while helping someone else you may never meet, move forward. Such an amazing cause, I already placed an order for a friend. These earnings are light weight and the shape is beautiful, I love wearing these, they hold a special place in my heart.
