PALESTINIAN EMBROIDERY AND OLIVE OIL SALE
DO YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING EARLY!  HELP REFUGEE WOMEN!
Friday, November 9 (5-8pm)
Saturday, November 10 (10am-2pm)
Westmoreland United Church of Christ
1 Westmoreland Circle
Bethesda, MD   20816 
(Westmoreland Church is located at the intersection of Massachusetts and Western Avenues. The nearest metro is Friendship Heights.  From Friendship Heights there is a ride-on bus to Westmoreland Circle or a ¾ mile walk west on Western Avenue)
In Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, Palestinian refugee women are struggling with bleak economic prospects and desperately need markets for their embroidery.  They are often the only wage earners in their extended families.  The Palestinian Embroidery Project invites you to its 7th annual pre-holiday sale of traditional and modern embroidery made by women in Palestinian refugee camps & cooperatives.  Come and enjoy the women’s beautiful work, knowing that your purchase will directly benefit the women.
We will be selling a large variety of beautifully embroidered and hand-woven work -- everything from aprons to cell phone cases to nativity sets. A new item this year will be olive oil from the West Bank sold by the Middle East Committee of Westmoreland Church. We will also have a sale table of selected items.
The Palestinian Embroidery Project provides a market for the women in Palestinian refugee camps and cooperatives and hopes to educate Americans about the Palestinian experience and cultural heritage. The Project works with refugee groups supported by established nonprofit organizations, including the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the YWCA and American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA).
