One of my favorite finds in Thailand is Fatima Shop. The Good Shepherd Fatima Center in Bangkok employs women in poverty, teaches them skills, educates them, and changes lives. They also house and educate teenage girls who are victims of abuse and fight against human trafficking, among other causes. These women make fabulous quiet books, smocked dresses, soft toys, and reversible dolls. I was hoping for some new books for the airplane and have several friends who were interested in their goods. So we invited some ladies who run part of the Fatima shop to our house. We had a good turnout and loved having these sweet ladies in our home. It's nice to get high quality hand sewn goods while helping others at the same time!
