SUMMARY:Fair Trade Craft Sale
DESCRIPTION:Beautiful\, Unique\, Affordable\, Fair Trade Handmade Crafts on Sale \nWhy shop at this sale? \nThe purchase of these Fair Trade items benefit the artisans who made them – Mayan Hands collaborates with 15 artisan groups in the rural Guatemalan highlands\, representing about 200 skilled craftswomen; UPAVIM’s member cooperative\, located in a “Red Zone” of Guatemala City plagued by gang and violence\, is comprised of more than 70 women working as seamstresses and making handicrafts. \nProceeds from the sale benefit a scholarship fund for students in the Church of the Good Shepherd sister community of El Ocotillo\, a small village in the mountains of El Salvador – the sale does not benefit the church.  These Fair Trade items are affordable as they haven’t yet been subject to higher tariffs that are likely to be imposed due to changes to the CAFTA-DR regulations.  The lovely handmade creations reflect ancestral techniques\, artisan craftswomanship\, and heirloom quality in new\, updated designs for the modern market. Come shop for exquisite: \nBaskets\, Ornaments\, Wooden crafts\, Ceramics\, Jewelry\, Textiles\, Scarves\, Bags\, Purses\, Children’s novelties \nAnd much more …
