In reality, many of the crafts displayed on the pages of this catalog originated in Concern America-sponsored income-generating projects. These products have ™ been marketed using the values of “Fair Trade,” meaning that trading relationships are based on reciprocal benefits and mutual respect; that prices paid to producers reflect the work they do; that national health, safety, and wage laws are enforced; and that products are environmentally sustainable and conserve natural resources. The Craft Program of Concern America is yet another way for us to “Grow a Global Heart,” honoring those who grace our lives with such meaningful and beautiful art.

More Christmas and Greeting Cards Cards sold in Packages of 10 with matching envelopes, $7 per packet Imagine these cards in beautiful and unique colors (color description below each card) CA404 Christmas Story Card Red and green ink; white snowflake background “Tell me the weight of a snowflake,” a coalmouse asked a wild dove. “Nothing more than nothing,” came the answer. “In that case, I must tell you a marvelous story... Inside: “I sat on the branch of a fir, close to its trunk, when it began to snow, not in a raging blizzard, no, just like in a dream, without any violence. Since I didn’t have anything to do, I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles of my branch. Their number was exactly 3,741,952. When the next snowflake dropped onto the branch - nothing more than nothing, as you say - the branch broke off. “Having said that, the coalmouse flew away. The dove, since Noah’s time an authority on the matter, thought about the story and said to herself: “Perhaps there is only one person’s voice lacking for peace to come about in the world.” CA003 Accept Surprises Card Black ink on blue parchment paper “Accept surprises that upset your plans, Shatter your dreams, give a completely different turn to your day, and -- who knows -- to your life.
