How Can I Make A Difference?
Your Shopping Can Change Lives
“Make a difference, not just a living”

When famine was declared in Guatemala, Maria Pacheco visited one of the remote famine-stricken villages and what she experienced changed her life.
Women were having to make choices as to which children would eat and which would receive medical care.
Their decisions were coming down to life or death.
When Maria asked a mother holding her sick child what she could do to help, the mother responded
“If you can sell what we produce, the rest we can do”
