Ladies from Portland purchase purses from NicaraguaA team from Portland (and Wisconsin!) watched the ladies of Las Chacaras sew a variety of purses while the team taught health (CHE) half days and helped build a pig pen the other half. The gals then brought the purses to their church in Portland and showed the work to the ladies there. And sold them all. Now the purses are more than 3,000 miles from their humble beginnings.
Soon the ladies in Las Chacaras will learn to make a different kind of bag ... one more "sustainable" and "eco-friendly" (from used plastic shopping bags). Stand by for this one. The idea was originally brought to us by a team from Clackamas County in Oregon. Crochet lessons begin soon.
