In 2009, we added our Pakistani tree with handicraft dolls and
animals Diane collected on her business trips to Pakistan (2nd last row).
Profits from these handicrafts are used by the
Nomad Gallery in Islamabad
to fund programs for education for women and children, human rights and to stop
violence and abuse of women. In 2010, we added our 11th tree with our
Bangladeshi tree shown in
the photos on the last row. This tree is also decorated with hand
made handicraft ornaments that Diane collected on her business trip to
Bangladesh. In addition, there is a Bangladeshi handicraft manger scene in the
middle of the Pakistani tree (left) and Bangladeshi tree (right). The
Bangladeshi handicrafts came from Folk International in Dhaka, a non-profit
organization that provides a means for 3000 local artisans (many are widows) to
have an income to provide for their families.
