Fair Trade Markets By HandCrafting Justice This Weekend

Here’s an opportunity for responsible consumerism. Queens-based HandCrafting Justice empowers artists in the developing world by guaranteeing adequate wages and providing clean and safe worksites for fair trade artists. Through the organization, consumers can find goods like bags, clothing, décor, art, and toys.

The Animal Mobile made by villagers at the Hands of Hope Project in Nongkhai, Thailand, is a wonderful gift for children and a colorful addition to any nursery. For the older tots, items like the Animal Bowling Set, made in Bangkok, using traditional sewing and weaving techniques.

Hit up the next fair trade market on March 2 and 3, at St. Andrew the Apostle in Brooklyn, to see for yourself!
