Story Behind the Art:

The sign for the Teenage Mothers Association of Kenya indicates that it is 'the last house towards the Obunga slums,' the most destitute area of Kisumu. TEMAK is an organization that offers job training in tailoring, hairdressing, secretarial skills, craft making, and recently computers to unwed mothers, girls, and others in the Obunga slum community. As a community center, the organization also provides the community with an educational forum for HIV/AIDS awareness and other health issues.

Beautiful Bookmarks (Razj, Southeast Missouri, 2009-09-26)

The bookmarks arrived today. I am very pleased. Each bookmark is in an individual plastic wrapper with a bookmark sized card telling about fair trade and TEMAK, the teenage mothers and girls associatioin of Kenya. I bought them for my class to see, and to eventually give away as prizes. I hate to part with them. I plan on ordering more to use for stocking stuffers and small Christmas gifts. The bookmarks are a useful and attractive product, plus the purchase of them helps a very worthy cause.
