Happy Valentines!!...

We are very happy to be selling some beautiful handmade cards by women in Nicaragua this week. We have some sweet Valentine's cards but they could be used for any special occasion. The women who makes these cards are living on one of Latin America's largest rubbish dumps, La Chureca. All the cards are made by recycling waste paper by hand with The Earth Education Project.
The women are learning skills to build their own businesses in their community. We hope that by purchasing one of these cards you will be empowering women in one of the world's poorest countries to develop new skills and in turn build a future and lift their families out of poverty.
