The Lastest Business to come on board with Donate a bead is Four Corners (NZ) in September 2010.
Four Corners (NZ) is a New Zealand owned local business, run out of Christchurch. They specialize in importing and wholesaling fashion Jewellery around New Zealand.
Four Corners has set the wheel in motion to support the Donate A Bead Campaign by promoting the project through their established client base. They are asking their customers to donate any unwanted beads, to go to supplying Wat Opots Childrens community with more beading resources which in turn the children make product to sell to the local tourist market and therefore more income for their Education and the orphanages daily expenses for the 79 children that may live there at any one time.
On Fiona Newsomes most recent trip back to the childrens community in September 2010, to assist with the next stage of the project, she was donated 11 kilos of beads by Four Corners (NZ) for the WatOpot Childrens community.
