Philanthropic Suggestion #3 for holiday giving

Holiday shopping with purpose and passion:

Artisan Cooperatives
A hand-carved salad server and apron set supports a unique cross-border initiative supporting families in both Rwanda and Kenya. From the Rwandan Virunga Artisan Cooperative, a community of refugees who've devoted their livelihood to gorilla conservation programs, comes the salad servers (embellished with the group's gorilla insignia). The block-printed apron is the work of the Bombolu Workshop in Kenya, where adults disabled by the recent violence in Kenya are helping support their local economy through handicrafts. This gift, sure to be appreciated by mothers and cooks of every age, supports the two efforts and the strides they've made by working together. $38; womenspeacecollection.com.
