Comité Artisanal Haitien (CAH) had an artisan killed by gang violence last week. Gang violence is rampant in the country, especially Port-au-Prince, as the transitional government tries to get established. "One of CAH's nicest, honest and talented artisan has been killed by gunshot yesterday afternoon while passing in front of a police station in his area. It was by a "stray bullet" while gangsters where shooting at the policemen trying to invade the police station to set it on fire." "Unfortunately, Dieufaite Laguerre was passing on his motocycle, trying to reach his house. A married man devoted to his wife and 3 kids, he was a hardworking artisan and appreciated by all his colleagues and CAH's staff." We are so saddened by this senseless loss of life. Our prayers for safety continue for the people of Haiti and Gisele Fleurant and the artisans of Comité Artisanal Haitien.

The creativity and ingenuity of our artisan partner groups is so inspiring! Nepal Knotcraft Centre partners with indigenous craftswoman who are using traditional weaving techniques to transform climbing ropes left behind at Mt. Everest base camps into table mats -- and economic opportunity. Craftswoman Sunita Kumari Chaudhary explains, "And people like me, who are far from the mountains but belong to the indigenous Tharu community, are using our traditional skills to transform this waste into something entirely new." Thank you to tanka dhakal and NPR for highlighting how female leaders like Maya Rai and Shilshila Acharya are finding creative solutions to daunting sustainability challenges. Ten Thousand Villages is a proud partner of Nepal Knotcraft Centre, selling a collection of their handcrafted jewelry online and in its stores across the United States.
