Truth be told, we did do a little shopping at the International Fest... And, we feel really good about three of our purchases! The handbag (a gift to Margaret from her loving hubby) was machine stitched by survivors of the Indonesian tsunami; a large percentage of the proceeds of each piece sold goes back into Indonesia to help in areas still rebuilding from this disaster. The note cards are copies of original works by teen-aged artists in Jinotega, Nicaragua, with ALL proceeds going back to the non-profit community center that nurtures and provides scholarships for these young people. Also, Larry bought a T-shirt from a Clean Water organization that is building fresh water wells in under developed countries and areas devastated by natural disasters. It was very refreshing to see so many humanitarian aid organizations represented!
