This is an amazing story of transforming a negative into a positive:
"Lovetta Conto, a 16-year-old from war survivor from Liberia who was one of two top finalists for the 2008 International Children’s Peace Prize, has set an ambitious new goal for herself: to raise enough money to help move a family of orphans from the refugee camp where she grew up to a new home .”
“Rather than simply ask for donations alone, this charismatic and resourceful young entrepreneur plans to reach her goal in a very unique and inspirational way - through profits from an exquisite line of jewelry called Akewelle : Aka=also known as ,Wel’le=Love. Created by transforming hundreds of spent bullet casings found on the streets of Liberia following the devastating civil war that deeply affected her early life.”
