A Few of My Favorite Things
Summer's winding to a close, and sadly, my
amazing internship with Global Goods Partners is wrapping up. I've really enjoyed my time at GGP, and learned so much about their mission as well as about the operations of non-profits in general. I've been exposed to fascinating new experiences, from attending the Cecilia Attias Dialogue for Action to spending a day at the GGP warehouse. I've loved working on my own project—updating the website so our followers can get a better understanding of our partner organizations and their communities. And of course, I
can't get enough of GGP products! Before I go, I thought I'd share a few that I absolutely
love.
I'm crazy about these
Silk Bead Necklaces from Cambodia. I have the deep blue, but wish I could get my hands on all of the other stunning colors they come in. There's just something so luxurious about draping yourself in a silk necklace; I took one look and fell in love. They're a great pop of color to any outfit (casual or dressy)!
Now, I'm very picky about bags; I have a tendency to find one classic piece that fits my style and wear it to pieces. Going through GGP's bag selection, I'm spoiled for
choice!
The
Cotton Handbags from Guatemala would have to top my list for their elegant coloring and charming scarf detail.
I'll leave you with
one final piece which
epitomizes what GGP is all about for me: the
Eco-Friendly Cotton Grocery Bag.
These lightweight bags are perfect as reusable grocery totes and fold up into compact zippered pouches. They're made by Friends International, a Cambodian organization that works with the parents of high-risk urban youth to create fun and socially responsible products (these bags are made from recycled cotton sarongs and newspaper comics). That's promoting eco-friendly practices at home and abroad: fashionable
and responsible! I know what I'll be carrying my groceries in from now on.
Here's to a great summer! Please visit the
Global Goods Partners website to pick your favorites! My experience with GGP has been absolutely phenomenal and I hope you, too, can learn more about our partnerships around the world and the
impact of your purchase.
