WORLD YOUTH DAY





Last week as part of World Youth Day, Tika had 1200 scarves made for the Mercy Sisters to give away to the international delegates attending the Mercy Sister's WYD conference. The Mercy Sisters are involved in AID work in the Tres de Mayo and Cerro Candella Districts where the Tika ladies live. Hayley also held a market stall selling traditional Peruvian handicrafts to support the women of Tres de Mayo village, home to some of the women who knit for Tika. The store was very successful selling colourful wares such as crocheted shalls, dolls, bags and key-rings.
