Life's Gifts Woven Necklace/Bracelet

Life's gifts are many, but none more meaningful than the gift of helping others. This special collection of inspirational charm jewelry brings opportunities to women artisans in Guatemala, women like Alejandra. Alejandra had to leave school at the age of 13 to work as a maid in Guatemala City. She was married young and moved back to the rural village to farm but the family's income was insufficient. Then Alejandra met the cooperative and formed her own rural craft cooperative group of women hand-crafting jewelry. This change allowed the women to provide better nutrition, medical care, and education for their families. Life's gifts are many, so choose a gift for yourself, and give them to your friends to help Alejandra and her cooperative pass the gift of a sustainable livelihood to their children and their community.
