Beyond The Classroom—Life’s Lessons

Are you ready to go back to school? At age fifty-three I still consider myself a student—a student of the world.
TRADE%20FB%20Page2%202 If you are open to life's lessons they can come at any age. I understand now that I do not have to be Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King or Bono to have a major impact on thousands of people around the globe. With your help, Shopping for a Change creates jobs for thousands of artisans. Together, we can provide clean water for a community of over 400 who never before had tasted it. And your purchase provides teachers for Maasai youth eager to learn about Kenya and the world.
Do you need another incentive? Well, here it is—you also get to choose a partnering U.S.-based nonprofit to receive half the net proceeds from your purchase!
Shopping for a Change + the Faire Collection (formerly the Andean Collection), invite you to partner with us in our joint Nutritional Empowerment Project. Your 2013 purchase will help the hungry learn how to create their own food source. The Kichwa Tribe of the Ecuadorian Amazon will be taught how to develop sustainable garden plots that will create a brighter future for their families.  Read about the project here (PDF).
