Everyone has a story and reasoning behind what they do. We
are standing in a bag shop with Tita Pearl. She has a heart for the unbelievers
also. She sells these beautifully handcrafted bags so that she is able to help
support the mountain people. We all purchased a bag and on the back of each one
it has a little story about the people.
This product is made out of abaca fibers locally known in
Bukidnon as "hinabol". It is the residents of the mountains in
Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, Philippines who have intricately hand-woven this
product.
We are pleased to inform you that you have just helped these people earn a living simply by purchasing this product.
They are thankful for the tourists that come in and help
support the people.
Please pray for Tita, she is looking for ways to expand her
business and continue to provide ways to support the women that create these
beautiful things.
