"buttons by al" began and continues to exist for the purpose of raising funds for a trip to Benin, Africa in the Summer of 2009 (June 19-August 14) with the NGO, Unseen Stories (www.unseenstories.com), for the purpose of educating communities throughout the country on the dangers of child trafficking (the modern day slavery of children), and hopefully put an end to it in Benin.
buttons by al = button jewelry made by al. mainly earrings, bracelets, rings, and necklaces.
it has been a rad way for me to spread the news of beautiful people doing rad things in our world due to the passion in their hearts for the purpose of loving and healing the hearts and lives of others...being the change they wish to see in the world...due to the love they have seen in the life of Jesus Christ.
