Embroidered Dolls from Zimbabwe
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I want these precious dolls from Zimbabwe. The only problem is, I’m pretty certain I’d never set them down. They’re from eBay’s World of Good.com? They aren’t just too cute for my mind to get around, these dolls have an amazing story to tell.
From the Website:
Made by members of the Batsiranai Craft Project, a cooperative of mothers with disabled children living in Dzivarasekwa township in Zimbabwe. Batsiranai is an income generation cooperative, a support group of mothers and families of disabled children but even more so is a vehicle to empower women in the region. For every doll purchased, Global Exchange will donate its twin doll to a needy child in Zimbabwe. So this very doll now has a twin living with a deserving child in Zimbabwe.
Now that would even melt the Grinch’s tiny little heart. Imagine: Giving a precious doll to someone special (who you love) gives a precious doll to someone special (who you’ll never even meet).
I urge (if it’d do any good to beg, I’d go there) you to look around World of Good.com and see what all they have. If you’re wanting to make an impact at Christmas, not only in the lives of the people on your list but around the world as well – this is the place for you.
Touching as many people as possible – it doesn’t get any better than that.
