Giveaway!!!!

This is Counting to Three's first giveaway! I've seen lots of giveaways out there in blogland, and have decided to get on the bandwagon. For six months you've read all about Global Daughter on my blog. Some of you have been to a party and seen what it is all about, but a lot of you live too far away to have experienced it first hand. Well, this is your chance! I am giving away one Cleopatra Necklace in your choice of 4 different colors!

Global Daughter's mission is

"Through fair trade initiatives and skills development training, Global Daughter creates an opportunity for otherwise marginalized women to have an outlet for their handicraft talents and a connection to the global market. Our goal is to give women in developing countries the tools to retain stable employment, achieve financial independence and establish a sustainable way of life."

My sister, Erika, is a co-founder of this new company. She and her life long best friend Erin have poured their heart and soul into this venture and into these women. Erika and Erin worked directly with these women in Nepal. They guarantee that these women are in safe working environments and earning fair pay for their work.

We live in a world where we do not always see where the products we buy come from. I can tell you exactly where this necklace comes from. Urmila and Roma are a mother and daughter who work together in their small one room home. It takes each one of these women 4 hours to make each necklace. The beads are so small and delicate, I couldn't even imagine threading one strand in 4 hours! These necklaces and the other beaded products are so beautiful. Every time I look at mine I think about the women who made it. I feel a special connection that I have never experienced with other products I own.
