Here’s something to feel good about. A project called Handcrafting Justice partners with women around the world to market and sell their crafts and help these women provide a living for themselves and their families. It addresses the problems of poverty and gender inequality in the best spirit possible. By using the skills and culture these women already possess to help them create a dignified living, this organization brings out the best of all communities. And the active force behind this project comes from the Sisters of the Good Shepherd who are providing us a glimpse of what true Christian ideals mean.
