This beautifully hand-woven pillow and shawl support not only Trinity's art but also the Mixteca Weavers who created them. They were made by women from a microeconomic project of the Circle of Women-- a non-profit organization which supports American and Mexican women. These products are created so the women can support their families, the profits from one shawl can feed three children for a month. Included with the shawl is a picture and the story of the woman who created these items. This is a wonderful and caring gift for the holiday season.
