Weaving Project
Please see our photos of the woven goods:
- Photoalbum and more pics
- Thai Weaving Enterprise Blogspot
The Weaving Enterprise began in late 2005 to employ poor residents of a nearby village. The women weavers use traditional handwoven techniques to produce shirts, shoulder bags, purses, change purses, and wallets while the men weavers produce large and small handwoven baskets, mini-takraw key chains, and table decorations from locally-sourced bamboo. This is a completely separate project from nearby Baan Unrak, Home of Joy.
Now in 2008, although we do not employ the weavers any more, we still have many products available to buy that were all hand-made previously by the women of Molaka village. 100% of the proceeds now go towards the Children’s Home.
SUPPORT THE WEAVING ENTERPRISE
Our products are colourful, inexpensive, and come in many sizes and designs. They make wonderful birthday and Christmas gifts. Please consider buying them for your family, friends, teachers, students, classmates, or co-workers today!
To order, contact Lindsay Marsh at lindsay@volunteerinthailand.org
VOLUNTEER FOR THE WEAVING ENTERPRISE
Do you know of a shop near your home that sells ethnic, fairly traded handicrafts from developing countries? If so, email us the contact information!
Even better, approach the shop manager about the details of this project yourself and ask them to consider importing these products. This type of volunteering will help the project tremendously. By promoting our woven products to clubs, religious groups, sports teams, or other associations you may belong to, you will helping us to reach new markets, directly benefiting our Children’s Home. Thank you for your support!
