Talented Ecuadorian people turn orange peels, ordinarily a waste product, into artistic creations. What started out as a hobby has expanded a business, and has engaged many other members of the community. These women help supply orange peels and produce the Christmas nativities. They're earning a fair wage to help their families, and the money is often spent on the education of their children. Click on photos for a larger view. This Nativity scene was acquired through a Fair Trade organization. Fair Trade pays impoverished artisans a fair price for their work. Fair Trade puts people first, not profits.

    Wonderful Tiny Nativity for my World Collection

    Posted by Barbara Waters on Nov 19th 2018

    This is absolutely adorable. I am amazed at the detail given the very small size of nativity scene. As I have collected nativities from other countries I try first to always buy fair trade and second to buy one that either responsibly uses a locally resource or re-purposes or recycles used objects. This nativity fits the bill on both counts. It arrived very quickly and was packaged so securely.
