Decorate Your Christmas Tree With Ornaments 4 Orphans This Season
By Karim Shamsi-Basha
It’s hard not to smile when you see the big smile of an African orphan in a picture at Kanzi in Homewood. The picture was next to a quaint ornament in a little plastic bag being stuffed by Jamie and Scott Laslo, who own the store. The two help these African orphans through the sales of Ornaments 4 Orphans.
Many of us will have a Christmas tree this holiday season, but will the ornaments on that tree help anyone?
“Ornaments 4 Orphans is a fair-trade enterprise. We sell handmade ornaments that are made in east Africa,” Jamie Laslo said. “These ornaments support the artisans who live there; then we sell the ornaments through our store, churches and other wholesale customers. Once the ornaments are sold here, we give back to programs and charities that help vulnerable children and families in Africa.”
