Beautiful work and such a great story behind it. <BR/><BR/>Another great source for their puppets is <A HREF="http://littlegreenbeans.com" REL="nofollow">Little Green Beans</A> which has more fair trade items along those lines, like the cutest stick horse you've ever seen.

A good friend of mine from Kenya runs a similar mission: www.beberavi.com. She employs women from her home town to knit gorgeous baby clothes (she's a former fashion model and her creations are amazing). Most of the women are widows to AIDS and this a way for them to earn a living. They are provided with a safe place to knit where they can also watch their children. And benefits also go to my friend's orphanage in the same town, www.chegeorphans.com. So your purchase not only benefits women in Kenya but also improves the lives of these orphans. I love this!
