Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good.

I volunteered to help a company based off of London to take pictures at the Magic convention in Las Vegas. Magic is a trade show for people to market their clothing and fashion related products. Many of the brands at the trade show were there to make profit and profit only. As I walked along the aisle's I stumbled upon a brand that is called Buyamba Soles. In their display they had beads and a couple of womans shoes. One of the representatives there was giving out bracelets and of course it was free, and in any case which is all the time "free," is good. While getting a bracelet tied onto my arm, the person giving them out quickly explained what they were doing and how they were doing it. The company was created to help the women and children in need  in Uganda. The women would make the beads in order to create jobs for them, then the money made would go to children in order for them to get an education. http://www.buyambasoles.com/buyamba-soles/
