Shop for art while helping others
Students, staff and community members are coming to IUS to shop with a purpose -- helping those in other countries as well as benefiting students who want to study abroad. The Wares of the World: A Fair Trade Market features handmade items from countries all around the world through the program Ten Thousand Villages, an organization which seeks to make sure artisans are paid a fair wage for their labor. All proceeds taken in by IUS go toward scholarships to help fund study-abroad trips. Photograph accompanies the article
