I run a school in Cienfuegos, Santiago close to the landfill. We've been looking for a way to be a little more self-sustainable, and came up with a crafting initiative for local women. Our small team has been making some really nice recycled jewelry (from old paper, and from broken glass).

I also work with SKing at Midwives for the Dominican Republic (I teach pre-natal classes in Cienfuegos), and we've decided to run a special mini-fundraiser to help MW4DR and to sponsor more classes at our school.

You can check out our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Poderosa-Mujer/417057808338749?ref=tn_tnmn and see the kind of jewelry we have - we are working on a catalogue of sorts. We are obviously in Santiago, but can arrange shipping anywhere in the country! 25% of the profit will go to MW4DR, 25% goes to Cienfuegos and 50% goes to the artisans.
