Shine Bright, Like a Diamond!

 **This blog is by Dr. Ezekiel Nichols of the La Ceiba Jewelry School Project**

Hello, I am Dr. Ezekiel Nichols, an economist. Currently I have just laid the ground work to establish a business ministry for the people that live in the La Ceiba dump.

 

The idea is to get some kind of workable skills they can use to better themselves. Several years ago we had a jewelry maker that would spend time with residents showing them how to make jewelry but never had true success with this project.

 

Now that Covid is through, we have started the jewelry project back up again. However, we are still a good ways away from getting it to the dump. Carol Iveth Lopez Diaz is a woman who is 39 and suffers from spina bifida. Several years ago, she learned how to make jewelry but has never really had a market for her products. Today we just finished the transfer of 20 sets of earrings and bracelets to bring her work to the American market. We are still working on IRS rules and getting a reliable supply chain established but we are one step closer to our vision at the dump.
