Little Traveller Dolls
HIV AIDS Initiative
JSA is partnering with a local organization Simunye initiative.
http://simunye.webhop.org <http://simunye.webhop.org/>
The dolls cost $5.00 and are all original and unique (make great Valentines
Day presents) and are MADE by somebody affected by AIDS in South Africa.
The dolls are made in South Africa; some of the money goes to the person
making the dolls who is a crafter, thereby supporting a family affected by
AIDS. The rest of the money goes to support the home-based care programming
of the Hillcrest AIDS centre trust.
So 100% of the money goes back to South Africa.
Anyone can order them by emailing simunye.united(a)gmail.com
