Dear Dharma Trading, about ten years ago I taught a group of poor women in the mountains of Haiti to paint on silk scarves as part of an experiment to see if they could make a living through their artwork. Their success has had a big and positive effect on the whole community and our art center is thriving (artmatenwa.org).

We buy much of our materials from you and I thought you'd like to see some of the artists and their work. I am sending a second e-mail with a few more pictures.

Yours,
Ellen Raquel LeBow
