Acholi Beads Embody the Spirit of the Tribe

beads1

Whole Earth is pleased to offer a product that is so important in the lives of the people in Uganda.

More than twenty years ago the Acholi Tribe fled a brutal civil war in northern Uganda and wound up in a slum just outside their capital city. The only opportunity to earn a meager living was to crush rocks with crude tools for $1 per day.Enter the fair trade company, Acholi Beads: their partnership with the Tribe has allowed these craftspeople, mostly women, to earn a professional wage making beads in their homes from recycled paper, then fashioning them into beautiful pieces of jewelry.  This business partnership has been a blessing to all who participate along the way – including those who purchase the jewelry.

Wear these beautiful creations, or gift them to your loved ones, knowing that you’ve enabled the Acholi people to prosper in a fair and generous manner.

Perhaps some of that Acholi spirit will grace the wearers, too.

Vibram FiveFingers

Five Key Reasons to Wear or Train in Vibram FiveFingers:

1. Improve balance and agility - when wearing Vibram FiveFingers, thousands of neurological receptors in the feet send valuable information to the brain, improving balance, agility, body mechanics, and posture.

2. Healthier feet - conventional shoes not only cast the foot, they often press the toes together and limit range of motion. FiveFingers gently spread the toes, enhance range of motion, and encourage your feet to move in a more natural way. The individual toe slots also deliver a more natural walking motion.

3. Stronger foot muscles - wearing FiveFingers will stimulate and strengthen muscles in the feet and lower legs, improving general foot health and reducing the risk of injury.

4. Reduced back pain - by removing the heel lift, FiveFingers enable a more natural hip and spine alignment, helping improve posture. These do though provide a soft, protective heel counter for cushioned support.

5. It just feels good - we always stress how important it is to listen to your body - most folks tell us wearing FiveFingers just feels good!

The Vibram rubber helps to protect your feet from scorching sand and sharp rocks and the razor-siped soles provide sure grip on wet, slippery decks.
Think of these shoes as ” A Vibram skin for your feet!”
