Blue, red, green, yellow. I scan the beads for the necklace I am putting together during a morning meeting at Network Against Malaria Club. The finished necklace is full of colors and neat beads.
One of the things I love about Network is bead-making. It’s so fun to sit around with your friends after or before school or on a weekend at someone’s house making beautiful jewelry, key chains, and rosaries! You are having an awesome time and helping others too!
It’s also fun to go to public events and sell the beaded creations. When you see other people come up admiring Network’s hard work, you get a sense of pride that is so so cool!
Another cool thing is where we get the beads and supplies needed for bead-making. Though a lot is bought by Network, much is donated too. It’s great to know that the community sees the good work that we all are doing and wants to help too.
Orange, pink, purple, black. My next piece of jewelry is a bracelet. As I string the beads together, I think of who will buy and wear this. Whoever it is, they will spread Network to even more places by showing off all of our hard work through our bead-making. Through our jewelry, rosaries, and key chains, Network Against Malaria is traveling everywhere and growing bigger and bigger!!
