NEWSFLASH: The Millennium Bracelet, launched by Edgars aims to highlight the eight different Millennium Development Goals set out by the United Nations in 2000. The bracelets in eight different bright colours correspond with each one of the Millennium Development Goals, such as achieving universal primary education and promoting gender equality.
