Today's Give Back Giveaway comes from Hands of Hope, a sewing ministry to at-risk women in Cambodia.
From their website:
Hands of Hope is a sewing business that aims to provide former commercial sex workers and other at-risk individuals in Cambodia further opportunities to build new futures for themselves and their families. Hands of Hope began as an extension of House of Hope, a Christian rehabilitation center located in Kompong Cham Province. Hands of Hope is a part of the ministry of InnerCHANGE, a Christian order serving among the poor.
Hands of Hope has created sewing and handicraft jobs for graduates from the House of Hope program. The anticipated goal is that each seamstress will remain an independent contractor and will successfully run her own small business sewing and creating Hands of Hope products. Through this, each woman will achieve an improved quality of life for herself and her family.
And the giveaway? A hand made bible cover!
This bible cover is 9 1/2" x 7" x 2", made of royal blue traditional Cambodian fabric, and embroidered with gold and pink thread.
Please take some time to look at the other items that the ladies at Hands of Hope make, and consider purchasing some of your Christmas gifts from them.

This is a great idea. We go to Walmart and buy foreign made stuff for people. Why not buy something where the money goes right to a person to help them get on in life. Love it.

What beautiful items! Definitely going to do some Christmas shopping there. I think the beaded bowls are gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor would definitely love this. Her Bday is the 19th, and also Christmas is coming up. This would be a great gift for her. She goes to church every Sunday; she also teaches children's church every Wed evening,and goes to Bible study every week.
ReplyDeleteOn the Hands of Hope product page I like the women's handbags, because there seems to be a bag to match this Bible cover, how cool!
