I am forwarding you a message that I received from Melissa Bride, in
regard to the Juan Pablo Segundo Sewing Coop in the mountain village of
El Pital near to La Ceiba. This is a coop that makes beautiful, handmade
Honduran items for sale via the Internet, and at the same time provides
a living for many single mothers, who otherwise would have no source of
income. Some of you have purchased items from this coop during visits to
La Ceiba, and a few have even crossed the Cangrejal river in the little
metal basket, hanging on a cable 50 ft above the river bed. This is the
only way to get to the shop where these woman work.
They are a FREE TRADE organization. There are no middlemen. I have known
and visited this little coop many times over the past 15 years and I
recommend them highly.
Please read below, and if interested, visit their website at
www.juanpablosegundo.org and make your choice of items to purchase.
There are many beautiful Christmas gifts to select from, they are from
Honduras, and they will help a single mother with many children to care
for.
Thank you for caring,
Dave

Dear Friends,
* Are you sick of supporting corporate America by shopping at HUGE retail
stores?
* Are you sick of buying impersonal, meaningless and expensive gifts?
* Is there someone on your list who just seems to have everything?
* Are you pretty happy doing your holiday shopping from the comfort of your
own home (with a warm cup of tea) via the Internet?
*Imagine leveraging your shopping power this season by giving a gift that
gives twice--- Shop Fair Trade and give a beautiful, unique
gift which at the same time changes the standard of living of a struggling
family in the Developing World.
So, go ahead, turn around, swim upstream...SHOP with your HEART and your
MIND this year-- Make a statement with where you shop and
why--you'll feel good you did!
Start by visiting the Juan Pablo Segundo Cooperative in rural Honduras at:
www.juanpablosegundo.org
There you will find:
*NEW in 2005, a flashy new line of holiday kitchen and table linens!!
*HOTTEST SELLER of 2005-- the MARIPOSA BAG--this chic, roomy, padded black
bag covered with brightly-colored butterflies (or dragonflies, if you wish)
is a steal at $33 and ideal for that chic woman on your list!!!
*Was there a new addition to your family or someone else's this year?
CELEBRATE and STIMULATE that baby with a brilliant, multi-colored crib
quilt/wall hanging. This quilt at $58 is a real crowd-pleaser.... and our
most re-ordered item. Just ask our repeat customers!!
*****Did you know that 80% of Hondurans live in poverty? Your CHOICE to
shop with us this year will literally change the way children live by giving
their moms the gift of ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY and HOPE.
For most families in the developing world, Christmas Day isn't much
different from any other day....SHOP today and GIVE THE GIFT TWICE!!
On behalf of Rosario Lobo (co-op director) and the other women of the co-op,
THANK YOU for visiting our website and for
considering shopping with us this year.
Place your order before NOVEMBER 21, and the women will do their best to
guarantee delivery of your purchases before Christmas.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Peace,
Mel Bride
