Our First Handicraft Sales!

August 23, 2010

On the night of August 17th, in the town of Mechanicville (New York, USA), our friends at To Love a Child held an event to sell crafts from Zimbabwe, Haiti and Uganda. The ladies who meet in HCFA’s Post Test Club have been hard at work for the last few weeks to fill the order for this event, and the package of crafts arrived only hours before the doors opened! 

The crafts made at our Post Test Club include purses, necklaces, belts and baskets, and visitors to the sale were impressed by the quality and selection of merchandise available. Entertainment was provided by DJ Richard Tollner and America’s Youth Music Program; great food was served and a good time was had by all!

The income generated by selling these handicrafts will make a great difference to the lives of the women in our club, and we hope that this is only the first of many successful crafts sales. Eventually, we are hoping that HCFA will be able to open a craft store as well as sell our products internationally and we are grateful to Cindy and everyone at To Love a Child for helping us take this first step.
