Waistbeads are traditionally worn by women and young girls in Africa.
What is a waistbead party?
 A waistbead party is where ladies and young girls gather together
to bond as we create and design waistbeads to accent the woman in you.
 We will supply the string and the beads and assist with the fitting
of the beads.
 Donation - $15 ($10 for girls 10 and under) includes string and beads
for three strands of waistbeads.
Food will be available for sale.
NOTE - Waistbead party is for ladies and young girls ONLY.
