    It has been so long since I have posted, so please help me with this
    post. 

    Tsunami, 

    Seven Days of Creation, Seven Letters of Destruction. 

    I have been thinking about how I can help, what can one person do? 

    I think of how small I am compared to the billions of dollars
    nations are sending for aid. 

    Will my little contribution  be needed.  Then I think how could it
    not be.  But if my little contribution was needed and I did nothing. 

    I make Judaica.  At the installation of my first commission,on
    December 31st. 

    I was approached by a Bat Mitzvah girl asking if I had any projects
    she could work on to complete her Bat Mitzvah requirement for
    Tzadakah- community service. 

    I used to do beading and have a lot of old supplies that are sitting
    in my studio. 

    I suggested that I teach her to make some simple pieces of jewerly,
    and have her sell it and raise money for the Tsunami disaster. 

    I also have Bali beads that I no longer use in my work, which I am
    willing to contribute to a fundraiser. 

    So here is my idea for a fundraiser for the victims. 

    Let's make a  Bali Silver Bead, on a simple leather cord or on a
    silk cord - maybe of a specific colour  and make it an international
    symbol of grassroots support. 

    We need some major retailers and organizations to help us sell them
    for a reasonable price say $5.00. 

    This program could be launched at this years orchid dinner.
