Enjoy a guest blog from LOH Fair Trade Boutique Supporter and frequent customer, Alonzo. He’ll tell you all about why he shops fair trade through LOH.
Why do I shop at Las Otras Hermanas…Well I guess why wouldn’t I!?
We constantly have the excuse that I don’t have time to do this or that, as far as volunteer work, not having time to help others. Well, this is a great way to not only help a local business, but help the women of Juarez, Mexico, who are one of the providers of shirts, soaps etc.
I shop at LOH because I can buy cool stuff, in the center of the valley, and know that fair wages were paid to the people that created whatever it is I am buying. I have bought Christmas gift baskets (in fact I did a lot of my Christmas shopping there), necklaces, journals, shirts, toys etc. I feel good about the fact that what I buy, was not created in sweatshops!
Thanks, Alonzo, for your amazing support!!
