It’s so fitting for our Mission Group to raise funds for Patzun by supporting artisans from third-world markets all over the world. A Fair Trade Market allows you to buy beautiful handmade items knowing that the artisan receives a fair wage, the items are created using sustainable practices and that the income is reinvested in their own communities.
Every dollar spent has a 3-way benefit:
- the buyer receives a one-of-a-kind handmade item
- Patzun mission receives 15% of our sales – we raised just over $1,700 for the school
- artisans receive a fair wage

I sent you a previous message but do not know if it went through.
I am originally from Guatemala (born and raised there). I would like to get involved in your organization. I have two teenage boys who would love to volunteer. I can also volunteer so please contact me at 412 561-8260.
Elizabeth,
I’m excited to hear about your Guatemalan heritage. Pat provided you with lots of info about our group via email and I hope you are able to join us for our meeting on July 25th. I look forward to meeting you.
