Aid to Artisans Ever tried to a turn a cement bag and glue into ornaments, gingerbread houses, or even jewelry? Good luck. But for an artisan like Etzer Lindor, it's a skill that he's managed to hone amidst the grinding poverty of his native Haiti. For starving artist Etzer and other uniquely talented artisans wanting to make a living, there is hope. Dedicated to helping craftspeople in developing nations, this group provides aid in countries from Central Asia to Zambia. Aside from the monetary and marketing avenues it offers, Aid to Artisans conducts programs for those who need to sharpen their skills. How can you help? You can simply give, or own a piece of art yourself. (in Arts & Crafts)
