The charity that will be benefitted from the sale of this item is Mercy Corps. In their own words: “Mercy Corps exists to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities. No one is more motivated or better equipped to create change than the person whose life and future is at stake. We help communities catalyze the change they want to see. It is their potential, their energy, and their ideas that ultimately will turn crisis into opportunity. Since 1979, Mercy Corps has provided $1.7 billion in assistance to people in 107 nations. In 2008, we helped 14.5 million people in 37 countries. For 30 years, in the midst of economic collapse, political transitions, armed conflict, and natural disasters, Mercy Corps has been helping millions of individuals, families and communities turn crises into opportunities for sustainable, positive change. Where people are thrown into the chaos of war, economic collapse or natural disaster, Mercy Corps provides immediate, sustaining humanitarian assistance, always with the goal of hastening recovery. As the most urgent needs are met, we immediately move toward programming that pursues longer-term stability and prosperity. Mercy Corps believes that solving social problems in the developing world requires blending sustainable, entrepreneurial strategies with a deep knowledge of local culture and context. Mercy Corps puts first the expressed needs of the people we serve, partnering to create durable solutions that make sense in the community context.”

Specifically, our donation will go towards building a well in a community that has no access to clean water. When such a basic commodity is not available to a people, they must struggle simply to survive, and the harsh conditions of their lives makes the situation rife for conflict. Not only does building a well have all the humane and hygienic advantages of providing a community with clean water to drink, but also, because so many aspects of life revolve around water, a well, shared by the entire community, binds a people together. Our Eagles earrings are also benefitting this cause.

"Most people think of peace as a state of Nothing Bad Happening, or Nothing Much Happening. Yet if peace is to overtake us and make us the gift of serenity and well-being, it will have to be the state of Something Good Happening."
