Sengalese nativity sets
My friend Deb linked me to Malika Monkeys:
a practical Christian ministry empowering boys and young men to rise out of poverty and become self-sustaining. The focus is on the teaching of trades, basic math, and Bible study.Malika is a big village in Senegal, West Africa. The Monkeys are a group of Senegalese young men (ages 15-30) who come from Christian and Muslim backgrounds. They come to the shop every day, furthering their education and working on various products. The income from their products goes back to the boys. They use it to help their families and invest in their futures. Some of the funds also go back to the ministry to help subsidize the costs of teachers, electricity, food, etc. Right now the ministry is on track to becoming self-sufficient. Please consider bringing some of their products into your home.
They make these candle-lit nativity sets:
