Closing the Loop
We went on our first Taaluma field trip that didn't require our fabric-hunting eyes. This time, we went to the small town of Sukawati, Indonesia and connected with artisans who received microloans from YOUR totes. From wood carvers to painters to silver smiths, these artisans use your loans to start and grow their small businesses.
Take wood carver Ketut for example.
He welcomed us into his carving-filled compound...
And gave us a taste of Indonesia's artistic perfection--leaving us bright-eyed for artisans and bushy-tailed for microloans!
As if that weren't enough, the field trip ended with a two thumbs up Hindu approval on the way out the door!
So with a big Thanksgiving "thank you" from Ketut, here’s to closing the loop and feeling good—cause after all it's Friday!

Tropic like it's hot
Traveler Aaron wanted to go somewhere that few people ever go. So he decided to travel off the beaten path and go to one of the least visited countries on the planet.
Leaving a Footprint
Well, it's Valentine's Day and I'm sure you've already been bombarded with messages about romance, love, and all that mushy stuff. So why not talk about something different instead?
Perhaps one of the longest relationships you'll ever have is the one you have with planet Earth.
