Capiz Shell Enterprise Continues


Here are updated photos from some of our hard-working entrepreneurs in the Philippines:

First the Capiz shells must be gathered and sorted...

then they need to be scrubbed clean...

the shells are treated and spread out to dry...

finally they are crafted into specific shapes before firing

We are so proud of Florita Escandor, director of the Elevita-sponsored I Reach Out Cooperative, for utilizing this native art to create a livelihood for so many.
