There is something so beautiful about the way he captures the magic of ballet and ballerinas. Perhaps you need to have been one as a little girl to really understand?

Thanda Zulu Jewelry
Thanda Zulu Jewelry
I heard founder Angela interviewed on 5FM last week and was intrigued that someone so young had managed to start something so fantastic: a non-profit which really is making a difference to orphans - with a jewelry business supporting the community as well.
She also mentioned in her interview the importance of raising awareness and trying to get one more person to effect change somewhere...it is so true. Even if you make a difference in one person's life - that can go on to be part of a bigger chain reaction.
Instead of just talking it, she's doing it.
Here's a link for other ways to get involved with Thanda

TOMS Shoes - Start Something That Matters
Official Store - TOMS Shoes - One for One - A Pair of New Shoes is Given to a Child in Need With Every Pair Purchased | TOMS.com
I really like this concept and think there is a such room for more of this, especially in South Africa.
What's great about it is that he's managed to keep style, fashionability and quality in the item - all things which can fall by the way side when you're trying to make a business profitable while also giving things away for free!
The founder, Blake Mycoskie, has also just released a book based on his experience getting his company TOMS off the ground. Read more about it here and once its released in SA ...
