Funding Microloans to Improve Lives

Traditional fabric from Luang Prabang, Laos brought to you by traveler Lucy Cronan.

"During our trip to Laos, we took a long river trip up the Mekong river. I wanted to visit a remote elephant sanctuary where the elephants are not required to perform heavy labor and their natural habitat is protected. The elephants in this sanctuary are handled by people called Mahouts. When only a small boy, a Mahout is paired with a baby elephant, and they are bonded for life. The Mahout are a people and a way of life that is rapidly disappearing. It was truly special to meet them, and this fabric reminds me of our time with the elephants." —Lucy Cronan
