Help Palestinian Women Help Themselves

(SANEPR.com) June 8, 2009 -- A modern take on traditional craftsmanship, these colourful Wrist Wraps are not just super cool accessories. They are symbols of the hope that comes from opportunity and the preservation of Palestinian heritage.

Each Wrist Wrap takes an average of one and a half days to embroider and features intricate patterns, which represent abstract images of natural objects such as leaves, flowers and palm trees. While every geographical area in Palestine has its own pattern of embroidery the Wrist Wraps sold at THE One represent the Ramallah, Hebron, Beir El-Sabe' and Beit Lahem areas.

By buying a Wrist Wrap from THE One, you will be supporting the Kalandia Camp Women’s Handicraft Cooperative - a non-profit, non-governmental organisation that aims to raise the educational, social, cultural, health and economic standards of women and children in Palestine.

So choose your favourite Wrist Wrap and join THE One in Changing the World Together, one accessory at a time. Find out more at www.qalandia.org
