Make Poverty History

[X-Rated Truffle Pig]

hey mates,

 

can anyone share some links with me to the stories behind the making of these white braclets...ie. making them in poor countries or something like that.

 

i remember reading it back, but now i can't seem to find it.

 

cheers

 

THANK YOU

Hmm, not a long story, really. The UK chapter of MPH decided it was cheaper to have poor kids in China or somewhere make the bracelets rather than unionized workers in the UK.
