{...happy birthday from Ember Arts!...}

Happy, birthday sseko! Our friends, Ember Arts, formerly known as Acholi Beads, has given us a sweet, sweet, birthday gift. And we'd like to pass that on to you.

To receive this gift, with every sandal purchase, if join us on Facebook and leave us a Happy Birthday, Sseko! message, we'll include a lovely, long, multi-colored necklace from Ember Arts.

Did you get that?

And a receive a pretty little something from Ember Arts!

But wait! Before you start making up birthday sonnets for our Facebook wall, let me tell you a little something about the gifters, eh?

Ember Arts is an incredible group founded not too far away from us in Uganda. Ember Arts works with women from the displaced Acholi tribe to make beautiful jewelry out of recycled paper.

James, the founder of Ember Arts, is a great friend from my first trip to Uganda. I remember meeting James only a month or two into my journey and chatting over hummus and pita bread about what it would look like if this thing we call "business" could be harnessed and used as powerful means to meeting social needs that have been traditionally met only by the non-profit sector.

I was such a wee little baby (because now I am soooo mature, right?) I had just graduated from college and was still getting my feet under me in Uganda and James was such an inspiration. Because James wasn't just talking about how to change the world, he was doing it.

I've met the women making this beautiful jewelry. I've held their babies and eaten their food and I've seen the change and growth that has happened since these women have started their business. Ember Arts is growing and homes are being built and children are going to school and big things are happening in this little corner of the world called the Acholi Quarters.

So to celebrate our Birthday, James and the ladies at Ember Arts have so sweetly gifted us with some beautiful paper bead necklaces, that we'd like to pass on to you.

And please, head over to their website and look at all their other goodies (and brand new designs!) because for the month of July, if you use the promo-code "ssekobday" you'll receive an additional 10% off any purchase.

I ordered my first pair of Ssekos a week or so ago and left a note on your wall, but no necklace :( I'm assuming you ran out, which is fine - because I LOVE my Ssekos. I've been lusting after them for a couple of months now and I'm so happy to finally have them! Your work is amazing! Thank you for all you do.
