(More customer reviews)This headband is really cute, and came on time. It was the perfect gift for one of my friends who likes ethnic things. I told her the story behind worry dolls, and she loved the headband even more. I think that this present is more practical than buying worry dolls, because it has a use.

"WORRY DOLL LEGEND - There is a legend amongst the Highland Indian villages of Guatemala: "If you have a problem, then share it with a worry doll. Before going to bed, tell one worry to each doll, then place them beneath your pillow. Whilst you sleep, the dolls will take your worries away!" UPAVIM means United for a Better Life (Unidas Para Vivir Mejor). All of their crafts are made by women who live on the outskirts of Guatemala City in an impoverished area called "Esperanza" (Hope). The mission of UPAVIM is to empower the women of the community, giving them an opportunity to improve their quality of life, for themselves and for their families. They pursue this mission by giving women access to education, employment opportunities, daycare services for their children, health care services, and programs for personal and professional development. By working together these women have developed a community medical clinic and dental clinic, a scholarship and tutoring program, an infant growth monitoring and breast-feeding promotion program, a daycare center with Montessori trained teachers, and a craft project that generates income for the individual women and for these community programs. UPAVIM is a member of the Fair Trade Federation.
