S: Is for the sweetness of giving

Since Christmas has always been about children and giving, gift 6 and 7 combine both. Out of the hearts of babes.

#6 1>10: Eight teenage girls found a way to step outside of their ordinary lives and become spectacular human beings by making jewelry to raise money to rescue children that have been sold into slavery in the fishing villages of Ghana. They donate 100 percent of their proceeds to the International Organization for Migration to rescue and provide 2 1/2 years of healthcare, food, education, counseling and love for each child. In 2002 watching Oprah and seeing an episode that showcased rescue missions they felt they had to do something.It started when they thought what if we only saved one child? What was a question became a company called "One is better than none" otherwise known as 1>0. They started off with the jewelry and now have a clothing line. The jewelry is made from eight wooden beads that represents the eight girls. The center bead is an authentic recycled glass bead from Ghana. Thousands of bracelets have been made and each one is numbered and initialized by the girl who made it. The necklaces are made in a group. As of Feb 2008 you can officially buy 1>0 at Bloomingdale's. The website has a listing of all the boutiques nationwide that are carrying the line. Their goals for the future include changing causes every year helping children in need but we are focused now on saving the fishing children in Ghana.

#7 TUTU: Dasia Dawson had no training, she's only 11 and has a book of sketches filled with designs for jeans, jewelry and other clothing. A few years ago she had an idea to take her nickname "Tutu" and turn it into something her peers can learn from. Recently she launched a jewelry line called TUTU Luv Me and expand into a full clothing line. Tutu stands for teach you, teach us, teaching young girls how to love themselves. "You're teaching people how to love themselves. Like I won't have sex because I love me. I will eat right because I love me and it goes on and on". "The larger influence is not just about the apparel it's about the meaning behind it, it's about the upliftment of young girls and even boys. To buy and learn more about Dasia
