• International Gifts for 2010:Ten Thousand Villages

Have you ever wondered about the labor involved in that international gift you purchase at city bazaars and gift shops? Who made it? How much were they paid and were the workers enjoying a clean and fair workplace? Ten Thousand Villages offers international gifts all year long and can answer yes to all of the above questions. Ten Thousand Villages is a non-profit organization run by the Central Committee of the Mennonite Church and was founded sixty years ago by a woman living and working in Puerto Rico who began to sell needlework products in her home state of Pennsyvania. It has grown into a program offering beautiful objects from all over the world and carefully oversees the fair trade conditions in both the purchase and sale of each item. There are stores in every U.S. state and also in many locations in Canada. It is possible to do a Ten Thousand Villages sale as a fundraiser for your organization.
