Pink, Blue, Lime Green, Brown and many other colored bracelets have been worn this week on the hands of our Lyford Cay students. They are easy to flip on and take off but behind the trend is a story?.The Meah Story.
Tina Klonaris-Robinson, due to situations that occurred during labor, ended up losing Meah her baby daughter. As she struggled with this tragedy, Tina knew that she wanted to heal and grow in a way that was conducive to living life with purpose and true meaning. Tina realized that she wanted to make good out of the tragedy and needed to find a way to heal and empower herself and others who also found themselves in hurting and tragic situations.
This is where the bracelets come in. Tina founded The Meah Foundation to share these ?Meah Story Bracelets." Every bracelet has the hand print of a person, their name and the country they are from. The story of these persons has inspired Tina and her hope is that the story also inspires others in the quest for change and healing.
Different students from different grades in Lyford Cay were interviewed and asked about what the bracelet meant to them. No matter their age, however, or the vocabulary they used to get across their message, every student with a bracelet was able to say that they felt proud to wear a bracelet and show a child in Africa that they cared. Almost every person had immediately found out about the child on their bracelet. They could easily talk about the living conditions of the person on their bracelet and how the Meah foundation helped them.
Wearing one of these bracelets is not only a trendy fashion statement, but it also says that you are standing with a woman in Rwanda or man in Ghana, a child or the elderly as they overcome personal, family and community tragedies. When we wear their bracelets, we stand with their dream; we share the vision, the hope, and the possibility. Hand in hand, we can all make a difference.
