The Unitarian Universalist Church has partnered with a local Fair
Trade Organization called Colores del Pueblo. The group works with Latin
American artisans mostly in Guatemala to give the artists a fair
living wage for their handiwork so the women can make a living,
send their children to school and pass on a dying art form in terms
of weaving.
