SPECIAL BEADS: Jewelry sales help impoverished women in Uganda - JB News Feed

NEWPORT - Trying on and shopping for jewelry is a treat, but what made it even more special Tuesday night was the fact that the money raised is going toward a good cause.

Bead for Life is an organization that supports women beaders in Uganda who are struggling with AIDS, poverty and violence. Local resident Meghan Dutton was the host and coordinated the bead party held at Hibernian Hall on Wellington Avenue. She first heard of Bead for Life through one of her mother's friends. Dutton previously was a member of ONE, which is an organization dedicated to wiping out poverty.
