The sewing program in Port Au Prince provides women with a practical skill to provide an income for their family. Empowering women to no longer have to give up the children for adoption. One of the out growths of this is Haiti made Purse Parties. Purses, laptop, book bags are sold at in home parties. These bags are made by the women in the program and the proceeds from the sell are returned to the women and the program. The are made from donated 'scrapes' and rice bags, sugar bags so they are "green".
My sister Marcie Kasper recently hosted a Purse Party at her home in Colorado Springs. She had a room full of her dear friends. These women not only loved the purses but were so enthusiastic about changing a women in Haiti's life!
If you would like to know more about the purses, how to purchase one or host a party just go to the Heartline ministries link!
