The White Aisle: Giving Back

There are people who will argue that "Shopping is more important than voting", and that the disposition of money is the most basic role we play in any system of economics. As consumers we have a moral obligation to support small business and business that give back to the community. This is why I support a company like White Aisle. They started a program dedicated to helping former victims of sex trafficking develop skills and earn their own salaries. 100% of the proceeds goes directly to these young women who carefully create beautiful silk roses and sashes for weddings and special occasion. According to the website, "The fabric used is local hand loomed Khmer (Cambodian) silk. Each flower petal is cut and sewn together, then wrapped with other individual petals to create a full flower. No two will be identical. "

For those who know about the economical hardships of the Cambodian people. This is a great way to contribute to a worthy cause.

Please visit the White Aisle for more details.
