Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are notoriously wrong. The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments, and varying amounts for overseas shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost.

My parents could not afford to send me to school and I was married at the age of twelve.  According to our culture I went to my husband’s house for one day but then I returned to my parent’s house to stay for another two years. When I went to apply to work at the Janakpur Women's Development Centre I received paper, paint and a pencil for a test painting. I had not had these things before in all my life. Now I even ride a bicycle and from the money I earn I can buy food. I have also met new friends there. My friends in my village do not know so much about the world I know.
