It's official. I can finally talk about what has been going on these last six months. A year ago, I began working with an organization called,
Project New Hope International.
One of the many areas they are working in is Trujillo, Peru. Peru is a
beautiful country and the people of Peru are just as beautiful and inspiring. I was blessed to have been able to travel down there last April.
The women I have the privileged of working with, created a cooperative called Peruvian Mothers. These mothers have all been trained in
textile arts. Some having felt the need to pass on what they had been taught, have gone out into
barrios of Peru and trained up other mothers.
To date there are about 400 women all trained and capable of producing amazing textile work in knit, crochet, orquilla, crewel and embroidery.
My job has been to create a business here in the US to promote their work. I have been helping them design and chose colors for the US market. At our first sale we sold well over 3/4 of the beautiful alpaca hand knit luxury items and by word of mouth continued to sell through Christmas until nothing was left.
New stock is now here in the US and we are getting ready to have a
Spring Trunk show in March.
Our web site is almost done and I received my LLC papers from the state!
