Description:

This event is much like a traditional market setting with many different booths selling lots of different gifts. It is meant to be an enjoyable shopping experience for all who attend, with entertainment, food, and fun decorations. Gifts are purchased by people attending the fair, much as they would shop for traditional gifts in a store...except these gifts are for national and international humanitarian projects focused on saving lives and preserving our planet. This particular fair includes two components: “alternative gifts” that support a variety of different causes (involves a donation to a specific project) as well as tangible gifts (tapestries, jewelry, mugs, etc.) made by people from developing countries..
