The Museum of New Mexuico Foundation Gift Shop presents a special sale of fine Laotian jewelry for three days only! Jewelry is made by Laoian artists from the PADETC cooperative. Founded in 1996 to foster sustainable, equitable and self-reliant development in Laos. The organization emphasizes eco-friendly technologies and micro-enterprises to enhance education—by introducing fuel-efficient stoves that spare women hours of daily labor collecting wood; by promoting locally produced organic fertilizer as an alternative to imported chemical fertilizers; by devising new processing techniques and marketing strategies for small businesses such as organic mulberry tea and brown rice and sun-dried bananas, pineapples, and berries; by initiating garbage recycling in the capital city; and by organizing stimulating extracurricular programs for the youth.
