Rwanda Path to Peace Baskets Giveaway – US

macysbowl2wm (599 x 600)(1) Rwanda Path to Peace Baskets Giveaway   US

 

In the past 15 years or so, Rwanda has had a horrible history of violence and genocide.  The surviving women of Rwanda have started selling their traditional handicrafts of baskets to help heal their region and stimulate their economy. 

Many of these baskets are finding their way — legitimately, of course! — into select Macy's stores and on the Macy's website.  The Rwanda Path to Peace baskets are made in the traditional way, with traditional patterns, in modern colors.  They are gorgeous!  These baskets make fantastic gifts, too!  Read my whole review here

Would you like to win one of these Rwanda Path to Peace Baskets for yourself?  Good news!  You can enter to win in the Rafflecopter form after the jump.

    Education has become a priority for the weavers, and they are now able to pay school fees, purchase essential supplies like pencils, paper and text books, and provide shoes and clean uniforms. They can even afford kerosene and candles to provide light in the evening so children can complete their schoolwork.
