going green for a cause.

yesterday i found myself at a networking group which happens to meet at a big local church. while i really didn't take much away from the group, i took away something else! i stopped by the book store to see if they had the book "strengths finder" and they were out but what i did find was this:


okay so what is the big deal? its another eco-friendly bag. however these bags a long with many more with sweet designs are made by women in Kolkata who are trapped in the sex trade. 'Freeset' is a business who wants to see these women set free. this is who they are:

"Freeset is a fair trade business offering employment to women trapped in Kolkata's sex trade. We make quality jute bags and organic cotton t-shirts, but our business is freedom! We would like to see the 10,000 sex workers in our neighborhood empowered with the choice of leaving a profession they never chose in the first plac."

i love this! and i want to help. please join with me and supporting these women and offering them hope for the life they deserve. please visit the Freeset website to learn more!
