Purchasing through fair trade organizations (ftos) assures that the artisans receive a fair price for their products. The work of our hands is an ecumenical christian mission. It links individuals from various churches and backgrounds within the pella area in a common concern for the world's poor. It relies on ftos working with economically disadvantaged people; helping the poor and hungry support themselves. People of many nations join together in an active venture of love and hope.
