A little over two years ago, post-Peace Corps, and post-graduate school, I launched Global Sistergoods (www.globalsistergoods.com). We partner with women artisans all over the world, working with NGOs that address women's issues and occasionally by partnering with PCVs on their projects. Our secondary mission is to provide education about women's issues in the countries where we have partners, which we do through artisan story cards and soon, on our new web site. We also happily provide technical assistance and advice to PCVs who want to start artisan cooperatives. Please pay us a visit at www.globalsistergoods.com and let me know what you think!

In honor of the Peace Corps' anniversary, all RPCVs receive 15% their first order for the month of March. From March 1-31, just use the code RPCV09 at checkout to get your discount.

My Peace Corps experience had a huge impact on who I am and what I am doing today. There's a special place in my heart for my fellow RPCVs, so please give me feedback on what we are doing at Global Sistergoods. I'd love to hear from you!
