Paul's White Wristbands
-
i wear a pink one to support a 60 km charity walk my mom does for breast cancer
-
They say Peace and Love on them. Ringo had them made for all of his friends. That's why you see Ringo Olivia and Guy with one. The other that Paul has is the Make Poverty History.

I've never worn one of these, particularly long term as members have observed Paul does. Do they wear out or get grubby? - after all they are little more than thick elastic bands cheaply made for charitable promotional work. They were designed to be cheaply made so as to maximise profit from the small donation made to buy them. Martin
Actually the ONE band is extremely durable and after a year it's still like new. The "Make Poverty History" band, however is good, but not as nice as the ONE band. The other bands you get at the markets are the crumby ones, they last not even a year

Great!! I never knew what bracelets he wears...but now I can buy them!!
Thank you everyone

i am a member of the ONE Campagain and have worn my white bracelet for almost three years, and it looks like new. I also wear a pink one that is from the Cancer Society, I have several friends whom are in various stages of cancer. If you are interested in getting involved in the ONE Campaign..juust go to ONE. org....you can get ten bracelets for ten dollars. then there is an awesome t-shirt I am ordering..with a map of Africa..it is really a nice shirt to wear for people to look at...and know we can all help fight poverty and AIDS in this world.

Dunno if it's still out there, but to answer your question: I've worn a number of them - ranging from the LIVESTRONG bracelet, to the SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, to the SARMY one I'm currently wearing. And what I can say is - it depends on where you get it. Typically, the really good ones, such as the LIVESTRONG ones, ((and what not)) last VERY long. I tend to fidget and will stretch them or twist them etc... and that one never broke. I had it for a few years, too. My SARMY one is insanely durable, too - it's been through so much trauma it may need a therapist!! ((lol)) However, the ones bought at supermarkets or gas stations don't last that long. I guess the best way to tell is the thickness. The thicker the bracelet, the longer it lasts.... and now that I think about it, I didn't really answer your question so much as waste your time. I apologize. >.< Thanks for letting me know about the make poverty history/ONE bracelets!! I actually didn't know they existed, but charity is my life ((giving it, not receiving, lol.)) I like doing what I can. ^_^

I joined ONE, the spring of 2005...I love the org, and do a lot for it. The band I havve has been on my wrist since then, and it never has broken. I also got a cancer bracelet, as I have friends who have cancer, from the official site, worn it three years, and never broken. these two bands are thick and not flimsy. Sue

that's cool! I've been a firm supporter of the Give Life Foundation, and donate to other organizations regularly. when the holidays end and I get back to a steady pay check, I'll have to get one of the ONE bracelets - it's a cool cause. ^_^
-
The ONE org is a great cause...a lot of people involved, and nations. But it only takes ONE person at a time to help change this world, help to wipe out poverty, starvation, AIDS...and the concerts bring in great crowds..and there are so many celebs involved, it is great.
-
is ONE similar to the (RED) stuff for AIDS?
-
if you are interested go to ONE.com and you will see and hear everything. Great site.
-
Cool, thanks! I'll totally check that out! ^_^
-
Glad I could help you out...it is a great organization...Paul is very involved, and many others...we can always use ONE more !!!
-
u Did you get to check out the ONE site? They have awesome shirts there too, made by the Africans, which the money goes back to help. Have you heard of "Live Eight"...it is part of ONE...and many many celebs come and sing, it takes place in the UK, US, and a couple other countries...Paul and U2 led it last year...Bono is really the ring leader of this..the others have followed. I have ordered one of the shirts and cant wait to get it. If you pay ten dollars you get ten ONE bracelets and you can let others have them, and tell them about it, or sell them, and send the money to ONE. Many things you can do to help..hope you visited the site.
-
Anyone got to the ONE.org site. That was the first braclet Paul started wearing last summer..he and Bono led the Live Eight concert in England...there was one at the same time at Madison Sq. and I think in CA. You can go to the Live Eight site also...Paul has the dvd or cd on sale at his store. You can also get it on Amazon, if you are interested.

i've worn my makepovertyhistory everyday since november 2005. it's still in great condition, and i love it. =]
-
I got mine in 2005, just before Katrina hit us in LA. It is in perfect condition today! I lost my other ONEs I bought in Katrina..but I had give half of them out. The cause is great, and easy...and each ONE of us can make a difference by just logging into the site, and answering a few questions, then keeping on it..especially during this election year! They also have a great looking shirt wih the map of Africa on it...got to get that this next month.
