One of the projects that has the most bang with the Cunningham Foundation is the HOPE Bracelet and Heart Beads projects. Both of these train local Ethiopian students that do not pass their 10th grade exams how to make glass jewelry. One of our friends Alex Boyd that traveled to Ethiopia with us is an extremely talented beadmaker and taught a handful of Ethiopian students while we were there.
Here is the video we made to highlight the project:
