Dressing up for Halloween? Try this on.
A friend of mine just informed me of a new organization that is transforming a national obsession into a potential billion dollar humanitarian aid contribution. The site, CostumeStudio.com, exists with the goal of redirecting the money Americans spend on Halloween costumes toward the children of war-ravaged Uganda. It boasts, according to their press release, “one of the largest selections of costumes on the Internet at extremely competitive prices.” 100% of the income will be sent to the children of Uganda.

The project is a partnership between Seattle outfitter GoodSociety, home of a plethora of great eco- and socially-conscious fashion lines, and Invisible Children, a grassroots peace organization which focuses on the children victims of the war in northern Uganda.
