On our last visit to the shelter, run by friends of my wife and mine, the Sisters of the good Shepherd, we were reminded of an amazing opportunity for gift-giving. The Sisters partner with an organization which empowers women in developing countries who struggle with economic injustice and independence. It is called Handcrafting Justice and it is a fun, unique way to give which benefits everyone involved!
The organization allows these women to participate in free trade, and provides education, supplies and resources for them to create businesses, sell their products and create amazing arts and crafts. I have purchased several items ranging from nativity scenes made from volcanic ash to quilted handbags, made from 100% recycled silk.
There are also “alternative gifts” which include a month of education or a cow or loom that will position the women and their families for success! Imagine the feeling of giving a gift that is sure to change the lives of ALL involved, and to improve the world we live in…it is truly a blessing.
ALl you have to do is go to www.HandcraftingJustice.org and start clicking! You’ll be glad you did!
