If you’re still looking for a few gift ideas for Christmas, nearby Ten Thousand Villages invites you to stop by its store at 6417 Roosevelt Way N.E. tonight to shop around for a cause.

From 6-8 p.m. tonight, December, 19, the store that features handmade fair trade products from around the globe will donate 15 percent of all proceeds to New Dawn Guatemala. In addition, local business Glittersweet will be there selling purses, totes and tablet sleeves, along with Nicaraguan-born artist Victor Fuentes, who will be displaying and selling his works. Glittersweet and Fuentes also will donate a portion of their sales to New Dawn Guatemala.

According to an email from Ten Thousand Villages:

New Dawn Guatemala is working to improve the lives of hundreds of Guatemalans in Nuevo Amanacer and the surrounding area through economically and environmentally sustainable programs. The community of Nuevo Amanacer is made up of ex- refugee families who had to flee from the violence of the 36 year Civil War. NDG will provide scholarships for school and job training, as well as assist in other areas of need for the community.

It notes that if you prefer to purchase online at Glittersweet, they will donate to New Dawn Guatemala if you mention New Dawn in the notes section.
