Join us in supporting the GRO Artisans this holiday season by purchasing one of their amazing pieces on our new Etsy site.  The GRO Artisans are a collective of mothers affected by HIV/AIDS in Lesotho, and their work provides them with an income, on-site child care, and a comprehensive health care plan.   Everything is handcrafted by the artisans in Lesotho and features eco-sourced materials like recycled paper, mountain clay, recycled newspaper and cow horn.  Each piece is packed in a hand sewn bag made of traditional African fabric.

All jewelry is 25% off until December 24, 2010.  We hope you love it as much as we love making it!

In Lesotho the days are longer and warmer as we creep through December toward the new year. The school year has almost come to a close and with it comes the annual end-of-year party for the students of the Family Scholarship Fund. This year the event was coupled with an important session on HIV/AIDS and sexual health. The students worked with a counsellor from the local hospital in Hlotse to mark World AIDS Day which just past on December 1st. Here are a few photos taken outside the G.R.O. Lesotho office as some of the students relax between the session and the party later that afternoon. Congratulations to all of the FSF students for their efforts and successes this past year. We look forward to a full update as the year wraps up!
