Open Hand Designs creates jobs and opportunities for individuals and families to help break
the cycle of poverty and help combat discrimination in India. Here's a little of what they say about their goals:
"This is our fair trade...a fair wage, a safe and clean working environment, a valuing of cultural
identity, and a desire to care for and empower the poorest of the poor."
"We are committed as a company to helping fight human trafficking locally and nationally, and
in doing so are giving back 10% of our sales to this cause. Once such group we partner with is Not For Sale Campaign,
a group whose focus is to work at the grass roots level to empower everyday people to recognize and help stop human trafficking."
Please visit their webstore the next time you are interested in unique gifts. You'll be giving much more than what you
purchase.

  Xeloda is a medication used to combat the
effects of some cancer treatments. Unfortunately it has side effects of its own, one of which is Hand-foot syndrome
(HFS). Through the use of henna, which is acts as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic, they can reduce or eliminate
the effects of HFS. To find out more, please visit this site and look around. You can read the information posted here by
a woman battling cancer who is using henna. On the right side of her site you will find links to other related information.
I wish her the best in her battle.
