Due to the growth of our business over the last couple months Acholi Beads has been able to hire three new bead makers, and promote one bead maker to a full time production management position.  Increasing our production staff this soon after the founding of the business is extremely exciting, and  a sign of great things to come.

Yesterday I was in Acholi Quarter buying beads and taking photos of each of our bead makers.  The photos will be up ASAP; in the meantime, a preview: meet Gladys (right), a 26-year-old mother of three who fled her home in the north in 2004 to escape the war.
