They purchased via the Internet some of our hand-made, from recycled paper, crafts and had a benefit sale for us just before Christmas in California.
Recycled Paper Crafts Made In Nicaragua, CA
Katherine Lee, works at the Women's Community Center and wanted to have a benefit sale for us and others. She found out that the WCC couldn't actually do benefit fundraisers. Earlier, she had contacted us, a group of women in Nicaragua (with whom she and her team worked this past summer) about "selling their crafts, and they got really excited and sent about 70 pieces." Unfortunately she had to tell us that the WCC couldn't do this kind of sale. So instead, they just bypassed the bureaucracy and just did the sale as a wonderful group of individual students aided by Nadia Mufti who is in International Relations at Stanford. They did their transactions through PayPal, which issued detailed receipts. The crafts were sent to Stanford in time for the Gifts for Good Sale held on December 2 & 3. ALL the crafts were sold. All the proceeds went directly to the hard working women of Barrio Boris Vega. To see the slide show click here:
