One of the women sewing a shopping bag made from recycled coffee bags In partnership with Darren and Minako Polischuk of Polischuk Consulting, Inc. in Calgary, Canada, Samaritana has begun a project designed to generate employment for women in Metro Manila. So far, Samaritana has hired three women to sew handbags made from recycled coffee bags from Canada. The finished bags will be sent back to Canada for marketing there. It is our hope that this project can be a long-term and sustainable operation that will continue to be a blessing to the women at Samaritana and that it can offer hope to other women still in the bars and on the streets. Special thanks to Dean Hu and Pauline Huang for their generous donation of two high-speed sewing machines, without which this project would not be possible. Read more from August 2009 newsletter.
