Michelle St.Onge is an incredibly talented Canadian designer who has been in the screen printing industry for many years. She is partnering with me to help women in Nicaragua who are struggling to make a living for them and their families.
Since last year, we have been communicating back and forth about employing women in the 3rd world to make her awesome purses. Next sunday, Nov. 21st, we are finally meeting up in Nicaragua to set up a screen printing studio and teach women how to make her purses. Today we shipped 200 kilos worth of screen printing equipment to Nicaragua and we are praying that everything goes smoothly.
It will be an adventure for both of us! We are going to be in Nicaragua for 12 days sleeping in a production house on a bunk bed, celebrating thanksgiving with rice and beans, and collaborating with wonderful women 8 hours per day.

I received a purse for Christmas from your project to help provide employment to women in 3rd world countries and love it! I wanted to give one to a friend for her birthday, do you sell them online? I have your card with the mariaamlia.com web address but it’s under construction. Or is there a way to find a place in Chicago, IL that sells them? Thanks!! ~Pam
