Ten Thousand Villages needs your help!

Dear Friends and Family,

You may have already heard of the nonprofit gift stores, Ten Thousand Villages. For those of you who are not familiar with Ten Thousand Villages, it is a nonprofit organization founded by Mennonites that is dedicated to providing vital, fair income to artisans in developing countries by marketing their handcrafted products and telling their stories in the United States. Ten Thousand Villages sells a wide range of gifts, personal accessories, jewelry and home décor in over 81 stores nationwide and online at tenthousandvillages.com

As a result of the recent financial crisis, Ten Thousand Villages artisan partners around the world are experiencing skyrocketing food and energy costs. They are also facing the reality of fewer orders due to declining retail sales in the U.S. Artisans are relying on Ten Thousand Villages and its supporters now more than ever. Your support directly benefits families that depend on the income it produces.

As my closest friends and family, I would like to offer you 20% OFF your next purchase at Ten Thousand Villages. If you e-mail me at minksundsethATgmailDOTcom, I will forward you the coupon.
