Alpaca Wool Project

Region:

Bolivia

Missioner Responsible:

Fr. Gregory McPhee, M.M.

This project works in collaboration with a congregation of religious sisters, Hermanas Misioneras de Cristo Sediento, to sell alpaca wool and some artisanal alpaca crafts. The Sisters spin alpaca wool into 200 yard skeins for sale. The crafts will be a few hand-made sweaters, scarves, shawls and blankets. The proceeds will support the ministries of the religious Sisters to the local population.

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and will be repaid in full”
Proverbs 19:17
