We went to a Wheelchair handover for LDSC to the government. It was at the main place for people with disabilities in Cambodia. There is a gift shop there run by the disabled and I think many of the things are made by poor or disabled and proceeds go to them. Among my favorites were these deer. They are made out of Cambodian silk. The one above is bigger than the one on the tree. I also bought another tree ornament deer, but it is out of sight, obviously! But I do cherish them and am happy to be able to help in some way.
At our mission Christmas Eve FHE we did a Secret Santa exchange and this is what we received. It is totally carved out of coconut. I wanted to show you the back, but it seemed a little rude to put on a blog page. Come to my house, and I'll be glad to show our little monkey to you. The Curtises who are the Missionary couple service center manager, know the member sister who makes these. She is quite the talented lady!
