William has been intimately involved in bringing the art of quilt making to disadvantaged people in other parts of the world. On a recent trip to Central America, I saw firsthand that the local population of this region had no way to make a living for themselves(beyond Coffee harvest). This being the case I introduced the local women(and a few men) to the art of quilt making. At this time I have started a school to teach this art to them, with the hope of their being able to be in charge of their own destinies,by making and selling their own artwork. At present 45 women have completed these classes,these people are now training 40 more,and we have applications for over 180 more at present.(all this in a small community) The cost of materials,rents, ect. being the only limiting factor to training these additional people. My hope is to get cooperation with a FAIR TRADE organization to help them market these new products. Any quilt purchase,or support will be helpful to acheving this goal
