It appears to be a simple necklace. But really, it's a step toward hope. If you were at Girls Night Out in Boston you may have noticed Emerge Global's goodies. This organization sells beautiful handmade jewelry, but it's who does the making that matters. This not-for-profit works with Sri-Lanken children who have been sexually abused or institutionalized. Each girl is given her own bead box and a goal notebook—and with these tools, Emerge Global's jewelry is born. The best part? Every penny that a girl's jewelry makes goes directly into a personal savings account that will vest when she turns 18. Each Emerge piece is resonably priced ($16 to $22), so you really won't have an excuse not to buy. Doing good never looked so good.
