Get a jumpstart on your holiday shopping this season and support ATMA SEVA and Fair Trade missions in one awesome afternoon!  Join me on Sunday December 1st, at Ten Thousand Villages in West Hartford Center between 1 – 6 pm and15% of your purchase will help support community projects in Thailand! 

ATMA SEVA is a non-profit organization based in Chiang Mai, Thailand that supports local community development by offering volunteer opportunities, cultural exchange trips, and unique country tours in Northern Thailand and Bhutan. ATMA SEVA’s leading program, the Wat Doi Saket Project, places volunteers to teach English to Buddhist monks.  ATMA SEVA is also actively working to fundraise to build a school for disadvantaged youth in a rural district in Northern Thailand, to provide education and safe housing for those in need. To see more on the school building project please go to our website: http://www.atmaseva.org/Page-155/Building-a-school.php

As you continue to support artisan groups around the world by shopping Fair Trade, you are also directly contributing to educational programs in Thailand and helping to increase the opportunities for both young boys and girls to attend school.
