Giveaway! Path to Peace Prize Pack From Macy’s ($250 Retail Value)

December 6, 2009 by Jyl Johnson Pattee  

Macy's-Path to Peace-Baskets-Jewelry-Textiles-Giveaway-Sweepstakes-Rwanda-AfricaSpearheaded 3 years ago by Willa Shalit and her company Fair Winds Trading, Path to Peace developed an American market for Rwandan women’s crafts. It creates trade partnerships with artisans in recovering regions to bring the power of change to Rwanda. Shalit believes that women helping each other can change how Rwanda rebuilds its society, empowers women, and sustains economic development beyond traditional assistance. Macy’s has partnered with Fair Winds Trading to give an online space called Shop for a Better World where the crafts can be sold.

Mom It Forward is partnering with Macy’s to promote Path to Peace. On Tuesday, December 8, we’ll be tweeting live from New Orleans with Willa Shalit. Feel free to join us, stream live with us on UStream, and/or tweet with us during this week’s #gno event.
