A beautiful, practical way to support PRSSA at WVSU...

Students from the Charles R. Byrd PRSSA Chapter at West Virginia State University are selling handcrafted jewelry and other beaded items from South Africa as part of their fundraising efforts. The beautiful glass beaded jewelry is a traditional craft among the Xhosa people of South Africa. (President Nelson Mandela is the most well known Xhosa.)  The jewelry is displayed at their website and when you purchase their items you support not only their PRSSA development and scholarship efforts but young entrepreneurs in South Africa.
