It's all about fair trade


During her last trip to Jaipur in Rajasthan, Catherine Michiels started to work with LADLI a non-profit NGO (non govermental organization).

The vocational training center where abused, orphaned and destitute girls learn to make jewelry was created by Abha Goswami and Shaun Church. Katrina Barker is heading the jewelry department with maestria.

For street children it is the opportunity to have a chance in life, to learn a craft that they can't learn from their parents.

Spending days with the children, working on jewelry project and a new model of handbag was a deep and transforming experience.
