If you have a friend you've forgotten to buy a present for or are just getting around to holiday shopping, these bracelets are an excellent idea - and they're only $4.80 each! The FEED 2 Bracelet (which is sold exclusively at Forever 21) is a beaded bauble that will provide two school meals for children through the United Nations World Food Program.

Handcrafted by artisans in Guatemala, these glass-beaded, nylon-strung bracelets come in six colors: red, yellow, blue, gold, silver, and black.  Each color represents the country designated to receive the two school meals that are provided with the purchase of every bracelet.

RED: Provides two school meals in Swaziland, a country with the highest HIV prevalence in the world.

YELLOW: Provides two school meals in Sri Lanka, aiding millions of citizens still struggling with the effects of 2004's tsunami, coupled with a quarter century of civil war.

BLUE: Provides two school meals in Haiti, a country in which approximately 70% of children under 5 years old suffer from malnutrition.

GOLD: Provides two school meals in Honduras, which houses the third largest School Feeding Operation in the world.

SILVER: Provides two school meals in Pakistan to aid victims of the recent flood and earthquake that affected millions of Pakistani children.

BLACK: Provides two school meals in Kenya, benefiting over one million children within the U.N. World Food Program's School Feeding Operations in Kenya.
