I want to spotlight a wonderful organization that has been effectively fighting poverty and improving the lives of disadvantaged children in Peru since 2006. The Mirasol Project is named after a little girl (photo at left) named Mirasol who helps tend a herd of 3,000 alpaca high in the sierras of the Andes. Through the sales of the Mirasol Yarn Collection, the Project guarantees that Andean alpaca shepherds get a better trade for their yarn and, most importantly, the children are protected. Most recently a Mirasol boarding house was built that provides support for the children's physical, social and educational needs. I am very proud to be a supporter of this dynamic and dedicated Project!
