Joyful Match Box Nativity

Adela's Story of Hope: "There are so many Peruvians who don’t have a job. I’m very thankful that I work in an area that I love. I was given the opportunity to work in ceramics and it was something I always loved to do since I was in school. Painting and developing craft pieces were my hobbies when I was a young girl. I love the small details, because every new piece is a challenge and I never give up. Working with Trades of Hope has been joyful! I can solve my expenses and send money to my mom who lives in the highlands. My dad passed away when I was 10 years old. My mom is my motivation, and I work hard because I know she depends on me. I dream of having my own house. It’s a challenge. But I’ve been saving money in the bank, and I know that if I continue working hard, I’ll achieve it."
