Hope Mail

Sa’s Story of Hope Sa grew up in a small traditional town in Thailand where many people did not value girls, nor encourage them to pursue their dreams. But Sa was blessed with parents who encouraged her to dream big and become independent. So, Sa followed her dreams and moved to the city to become the main materials purchaser for this Artisan community. She often visits different communities and marketplaces to find new trends and fabrics. "I love doing something that gives me freedom and independence. I grew up in a small town where many had limited ideas of how a girl should act. Now, I'm the main purchaser of materials and make a difference! I love making a difference and being creative."
