Crafts of Cairo Sale – Sunday, 12/8
Building on St. Mark’s history of supporting communities in the Middle East during Advent, we invite you to a Crafts of Cairo Sale on Sunday, December 8th, from 9 am to 5 pm.
This special event, sponsored by Hands Along the Nile, where St. Mark’s parishioner Jennifer Cate works, showcases the incredible work of female artisans in Egypt. These women, from Cairo’s garbage recycling community, are part of a vocational training program in which they learn marketable skills, like weaving, quilting, and embroidery. The artisans transform clean scraps of fabric, paper, glass, soda can tabs, and single serve coffee pods into beautiful holiday gifts.
Join us in supporting their remarkable journey towards self-sufficiency. Your purchases directly impact their lives and contribute to building brighter futures for their families.
For more information or to get involved, please contact Jennifer Cate at jcate[at]handsalongthenile.org.
