6 Mothers' Day Gift Ideas For Moms in Quarantine
Mother and daughter weaving in Guatemala.
Mothers are the heart of our family, the heart of our global neighborhood. It takes great strength and courage to be a mother. Around our world, mothers are seeking the best for their families. Many of the artisans with whom we partner with are mothers. Now, more than ever, we need to support mothers, both here and across the globe.
The strong women we support work diligently to provide for their families. Dignified work gives these mothers the gift of being able to spend time with their children and stay out of dangerous work situations. These women are courageous in their pursuit of freedom and dignity, do you know a woman/mother like this?
During this time of social distancing, we can show our love and support for the courageous mothers we know by gifting them with stunning, handmade pieces made by mothers in places like Thailand, Guatemala, and Spain.
My courageous mama, Tammy. She is strong and kind.
