Carpets for Communties

This photo was taken while the Cambodian lady was making our actual rug





Last week I bought this beautiful rug to go in Noah's bedroom. The rugs were for sale at the markets and they stood out as they were so bright and cheerful. When I discovered there was a story behind each hand-hooked rug I knew I had to have one. The rug was made by a Cambodian woman and by purchasing a rug you are helping to fight child labour and human trafficking while also empowering a mother to return her children to school and keep them there. I found this all really interesting and the kids at the market who were selling the rugs were so passionate about their cause. Anyway Noah likes it!!
