Bracelets Sold for Women in Peru
For the week of November 26-30, 2007, the Rights and Democracy delegation at the U of M sold bracelets made by a co-op of women in Peru. The women, who are living in poverty in Lima and who have mentally and physically handicapped children, formed a co-op called “Yancana Huasy” to support themselves. The women produce and sell the elaborate and distinct bracelets that were sold at the U of M. Over 300 bracelets were sold, raising more than $600 for the women in Lima, since 100% of the bracelet’s proceeds go directly to them through an organization called Development and Peace.
