NVM's Hope Gift Shop has an employee

Cheryl has been running NVM's Hope Gift Shop for the entire time we have been in Haiti - almost 2 years now.  Most of the hand made items are created by Haitian ladies in her craft classes. The gift shop has grown to the size where NVM has been able to hire a full time employee. We want to introduce Fifi Judelaine.

Fifi is a young mother with a 1 1/2 year old daughter.  She lives with her mother and other siblings.  She comes to the NVM church faithfully every Sunday.  She has not had a job before..so she is a bit timid.  She works in the housekeeping area when she is not busy with bead making.  She is very creative in her work.  She makes excellent jewelry and we are very happy to have her as our first employee.  She helps to keep the gift shop dusted and organized and she is a joy to work with.

Cheryl has recently redesigned the gift shop to make it a more enjoyable shopping experience. And during a busy week she can sell up to $1,500 worth of product. Most of that goes back to the ladies and back into the supplies needed.  But this project also supports the NVM Sponsorship program.

Here is another look at some of the beautiful items being produced here that are for sale in the gift shop.

And you can help. If you are interested in finding out how you can sell these products in your community contact Cheryl. We have some exciting new opportunities that she wants to tell you about. She can be reached at cheryl.warner@cru.org. We hope to hear from you soon.  You can also read information on the NVM web at:   www.nehemiahvisionministries.org 

Serving on your behalf in Haiti,

Jim & Cheryl Warner
