TurKEY to Success
Meet Meryem, Sibel and Hatice…three small business owners in Turkey.
As an embroider, florist and shop owner, these women are requesting microloans to grow their small businesses. With loans ranging from $250 to $600, they’ll buy more materials such as a greater variety of threads and flowers.
These microloans are a window of opportunity…

for monument-al change for these women...
(Sultan Ahmed Mosque, Istanbul, Turkey)
to hold the Tur-key to their own success!
(Istanbul, Turkey)
So we are tea-ming up with this new country…
(Mısır Çarşısı, Istanbul, Turkey)
to create a Turkey Tote that funds microloans for these small Turkish businesses.
Here's to sharing the Tur-key to success and to feeling good—because after all, it's Friday!

Paying It Forward
Wikipedia (ahem, my favorite source) defines “pay it forward” as “an expression for describing the beneficiary of a good deed repaying the kindness to others instead of to the original benefactor.”
In other words, when someone does something nice for you, you do something nice for someone else, sparking an awesome chain reaction of kindness :)
Merry Christmas from Taaluma
Season’s greetings to you and your family!
We hope you have a great thyme this season doing your favorite holiday things: from cumin together with your family, to wearing warm and comfy cloves, to chili-ing out and taking some time off to rest. Oh and have fun opening presents too, just remember that “it is always pepper to give than to receive.”
From all of us at Taaluma, we wish you a rose-merry Christmas and a dill-lightful New Year!
