How to help
- Purchase a rug. This is the single most important
way to help. Minimum wage is around $200 a month. With one rug purchase you
can support a family for one week. There is no commission on sales. All
profits go
directly to the artist.
- Have the rugs at your next camp or hook-in. This is a simple fun way to
see the rugs and help the project. I will send you rugs to sell. After the
event you will simply send back unsold rugs.
- Organize a rug show. This can be at a church, gallery, restaurant, club
etc. I will send rugs for display with photographs of each woman and
information about her life. I can also come to an opening for the show with
a slide show presentation.
- Have a rug raffle at your next hook-in or camp.
- Purchase a pattern. 50% goes to the artist. http://www.rugartsupply.com/
- Donate scholarship money to Mujeres en Cambio for a
girls education. www.mujeresencambio.com
- Purchase the DVD "The Rug Hookers of Agustin
Gonzales" (the $15 goes to pay for promotional materials for the group).
