This Green Recycled Paper and Glass Bead Bracelet 'Nature of Life in Green' by Asociación ADISA is an eco-friendly cuff bracelet crafted by youth with disabilities in Guatemala. Beads formed from recycled paper in primarily green shades are accompanied by tiny green glass beads on the wired cuff. The association provides meaningful employment and income, and each piece reflects a powerful commitment to community and hope.
Asociación ADISA was founded in 1997 by Francisco Sojuel and María Argentina Figueroa, inspired by the life of their daughter, Nyla Eliza, who was born with hydrocephaly and later passed away at age seven. Determined to transform their grief into purpose, they created a community for parents and children with disabilities in Santiago Atitlán. What began as small weekend gatherings has grown into a respected organization offering special education, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and skills training. Over the years, ADISA has developed innovative recycling projects, including crafts made from glass and newspaper, providing meaningful employment and income for young people with disabilities. Guided by love, resilience, and a belief in inclusion, the association empowers families to overcome social stigma and offers opportunities for dignity and independence. Each handcrafted piece reflects not only creativity but also a powerful commitment to community and hope.
Handcrafted in recycled paper, glass beads, stainless steel, and cotton thread, this cuff bracelet weighs 0.39 oz. It has an inner circumference of 6.5 inches and is 1 inch W. The hand-crafted item's color, size, and/or motif may vary slightly, and the recycled materials may vary slightly in color and/or pattern.
