CHICAGO, IL (August 17, 2009) – The Abundant Life Center (ALC) in Thailand has made available more of the special bags that sold out quickly at CHIC 2009.

ALC is located in Bangkok and seeks to help people who have migrated to the city from the countryside to find jobs and develop life skills. “Our hope at Abundant Life Center is people will find a new dream for their life,” says Covenant missionary Karen Groot, who leads the ministry.
Women in the ALC Crafts project use local Thai fabrics to sew small bags and purses that are then sold internationally. They made 500 custom messenger bags that CHIC attendees purchased.
