I’m a big fan of scarves and a even bigger fan of unique prints. Obakki sells a graphic silk scarf with 100% of the proceeds going to aid orphans in Africa. Again with the guilt free shopping!

150 orphans were given a piece a paper and asked these questions: What makes you sad? What makes you afraid? What makes you happy? Using the words and drawings as inspiration, the answers were imprinted on a %100 double faced silk scarf.

You can purchase the scarf on-line for $60 CDN with 100% going to the Obakki Foundation or simply make a donation in cash or towards some first aid and school kits. Shop and help, it’s a pretty simple concept.
