My friend recently returned from helping out the United Nations in Tanzania. She told me one simple way we can lend a hand to the HIV infected women of Africa is to buy a SEW bag. SEW stands for supporting and empowering women. This recyclable bag is designed to give women financial independence and self worth. Melbourne law students Jessie Smith and Denis Cairney are the brains behind this clever program aimed at giving back. The groovy tote retails at $19.95 and can be purchased from theReadings store in Carlton.
