Volcanic Eruption in Guatemala |
We are happy to report that all the artisans we work with in Guatemala are safe and living in their homes after Fuego’s volcanic eruption. But those closer to the volcano have experienced serious loss and devastation, with little support from their government. In coordination with our Guatemalan fair trade partners, WINGS Guatemala, a local NGO providing birth control and health services, is a trusted organization to accept donations to support people affected by the volcanic eruption. |

Outdoor Chimes |
This morning we just spoke with friends and colleagues in Philadelphia, who reported that the spring rains have finally subsided and the sun is finally making an appearance – time to get our back yards cleaned up and beautified! We offer two different chimes made by fair trade artisans in India using recycled metals:
|
Hamsah Chime is 8.5 inches long and 2.5 inches wide |
Star of David Chime is 12 inches long and 5 inches wide |

Great Summer Reads |
