Best Places to Get unique Christmas GIFTS, Ornaments and Stocking Stuffers
Get them in time to decorate your tree. There are two very worthy organizations that sell on line and at select church bazaars and coffee hours the most unique and best Christmas gifts- ornaments, nativity scenes, beautiful gifts. They get the Gold Stars of the year for best presents:
The People of Hope Crafts from Project Salvador. http://www.peopleofhopecrafts.org/ http://www.projectsalvador.org/
Holy Trinity Catholic Church in DC has a sister church in El Salvador and they have a group of people who hand make the most beautiful things- hand painted, hand woven, hand embroidered crafts from El Salvador -very bright colored unique one of a kind gifts.
Their crafts support very poor local communities of El Salvadorans and funds a number of meaningful programs such as the Micro-Lending enterprise development, scholarships for destitute children, a center for Arts and Peace to promote non-violence, proyecto los Ninos which provides comprehensive nutritional and health care for children.
The Holy Land Christian Ecumenical Foundation, http://www.hcef.org/ supports the Christian community of all denominations living in the Holy Land. These are descendants of the original church -those who directly heard Jesus and the Apostles and they worship in the land of Jesus' birth. They are the 'Living Stones' of the church. It is important to support them as they are the bridge to Peace and witnesses to and of the Prince of Peace. They have beautiful hand made olive wood gifts that you can order on line- made by local Christians living in modern day Israel.
Please support these very worthy organizations. I can personally attest that these are very high quality gifts that people absolutely love to get.
