Little Traveller Dolls

HIV AIDS Initiative

JSA is partnering with a local organization Simunya 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@gmail.com

If you would like to see different programs or more of them, send an email to mailto:info@jsawinnipeg.org info@jsawinnipeg.org and tell us about it.
