A New KIVA Donation

Time for another KIVA donation!  Since I have been making the Mandala Yoga Mat bags I know how difficult and time consuming it is to sew.  Mrs. Savinh Doung from Cambodia is weaving silk!  Can you imagine the time and patience needed for that skill.

It takes such a small amount of money, time, energy, kindness etc....  to make a difference in someones life.  I hope that these small donations will help to make life a bit easier and enjoyable for these entrepreneurs. Here is a little info on this beautiful woman.


Thank you for your support on our small business as well!


Namaste

Savinh has been a silk weaver since she was 27 years old, a skill she learned from her neighbor. She sells her finished products to a middleman in the village who then takes them to sell in Phnom Penh. She is requesting a loan of US$ 500 to purchase silk materials for continuing her weaving business.
