World Vision: Share the Spirit of Christmas – Win an artisan beaded necklace!

December 9, 2012 By Debra Pearlstein 76 Comments

I really am so impressed and also happy to be working with World Vision this year. They are a humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities around the world to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.

In this video, watch how the gift of just one goat helped transform the lives of one family in Tanzania

At World Vision International, you can give a gift of a goat and two chickens, two ducks, sponsor a child or donate to the clean water fund. There are really so many wonderful ways to help.

We are all one global community. Everyone is our brother and sister. Even the smallest donation can help transform lives, and this, I believe, is the true meaning of Christmas. We are not just helping once; we are helping create brighter futures.

World Vision also has a lovely gift catalog full of inspiration. Donors can also receive free handmade gifts such as ornaments from Nairobi and jewelry from Thailand with a contribution to the Maximum Impact Fund, which helps in the areas of greatest needs.

They sent me this absolutely gorgeous handcrafted artisan beaded necklace from Thailand to review. I felt very honored to wear it and found it to be stunning. You can wear it as a necklace looped over or straight or wrapped around your arm as a bracelet. The beads are very beautiful and it is truly a lovely piece of wearable art. It is one of my absolute favorites and goes with everything.  You can get one or gift one with a donation of $60.

Approximate size is 44″ around (22″ long when worn as a single necklace).

I love to wear it wrapped around my arm:

They have also generously offered the same beautiful necklace to one of my readers.

So, this holiday season, I wish you joy, I wish you peace, I wish you love.

Please enter via Rafflecopter below!

Disclosure: I was provide the artisan beaded necklace for review however all opinions, thoughts are my own.

    I wish I had enough to donate a fishing kit and fishing pond. It seems like a gift that could help a village for more than just a month.

    The necklace IS gorgeous, thanks for the giveaway!
