ESTROG

No, I didn't forget the "EN" at the end.  I am in love with ESTROG:  Every Single Transaction Reaps Overall Good.

My dear friend (world traveler, business woman, mother and grandmother, credible Deadhead), Yvette, has started a company with a mission to help improve conditions in areas of the world where women are oppressed.  The vehicle for the mission is fair trade.  Yvette sells goods made by women in impoverished nations.  These are quality products, unique and well-made.

Yvette's business aims to "improve stressful conditions for women and children in developing nations / communities.  The feminine energy ascends at this time in evolution.  Women need support and a voice to honor this calling."  From helping land mine victims in Cambodia to alleviating the practice of trafficking girls in India to providing domestic abuse relief in Ghana, Yvette's efforts bring awareness to female oppression throughout the world.  What's not to love?

I visited Yvette at our local county fair / farm and horse show, where she and another friend, Korey, have a booth to market their wares.  Korey, another advocate for impoverished women of the world, works through The Sharing Foundation, an organization that supports, among other things, orphanages in Cambodia by selling silk purses, totebags, scarves, etc.

These two women are my heroes.  They work hard, they volunteer countless hours and amazing energy to causes which they believe in wholeheartedly. They are doing what they can to support our sisters in other lands who struggle to be heard, to be appreciated, to survive.

You can see Yvette's wares at www.estrog.com or visit her Facebook page.  Korey's organization can be found at www.sharingfoundation.org.  If you can share the love in any way, please do.

Yvette's mantra:  Hope for Peace.  Save the Earth.  Help Alleviate Oppression.

Yes.  It's about love.
