Mexico is a country where one may find diverse handicrafts manufactured by indigenous people from different rural regions; they are true artists in different disciplines. Unfortunately, most craftspersons have very limited resources.
Drukpa Mexico has chosen a group of Mazahua embroiderers, placing orders for items that later on may be sold at the Drukpa store.
This act belongs to the Live to Love project since it actively helps a group of very needy indigenous women both economically and preserving a handcrafts tradition, and at the same time it allows us to keep our text books, malas and bells enjoying their excellent craftsmanship.
I am very sensitive to your initiative, which is (for me) more than one collaboration between your center and the local people, but it’s also an invitation to think about a more ethic mode of consumption which includes, the respect of everybody, the ecology, the equity, etc..
Thank you for this shared happiness and good continuation in your activities “Live to Love”
