For the last fourteen years during the holiday season, Woodstown
Friends have hosted Ten Thousand Villages, an international gift festival
that provides vital, fair income to artisans and their families in more
than 32 developing nations by marketing their handicrafts and telling
their stories. Examples of products include a large assortment of holiday
ornaments, jewelry, musical instruments, toys, carved animals,
handmade paper and cards, scarves, tablecloths, hand carved animals,
wood boxes, kitchen utensils and bookends. One hundred percent of the
proceeds from our sale are returned to the organizers of Ten Thousand
Villages, the Mennonite Central Committee. These earnings provide
artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed with
an income for food, housing, health care and education.
Please consider Ten Thousand Villages for your holiday shopping.
