The Paradise Neighborhood Master’s Workshop, a local arts and crafts business started up a few years ago to bring employment to a destitute neighborhood and to help the Paradise Covenant Church to reach out to the needs of the neighborhood, has had two good months of sales, earning approximately $3,500.00 in each month. This is to be expected as October and November are the beginning of the “high season” (that goes until January) for artesanian products because of the holidays. They have tried selling their products in new cities along the coast toward Venezuela and they had limited success. Employment is still high – 14 workers currently, and Edilberto Correa, the product designer, has been focusing a lot on new product development. Covenant World Relief is a proud partner with this project.
