Fair World Marketplace was a fair trade store
(a Ten Thousand Villages partner store) located in Syracuse/DeWitt, New York. Over seven years, sales from this store provided more than $250,000 in income for artisan and farmer co-ops throughout the world. Declining sales following the 2008 recession forced the store's closure in 2011.
Thank you for your support for fair trade!

Guatemala expedition


I am back in Guatemala visiting the women of Chumanzana and catching up on their lives. This group are back-strap weavers and are really feeling the pressure of the world-wide economic recession at this time. We are here working with them to create new products for the fall season and plan for the future.
