Q'ente Society is a textile reviatalization program, soon you will be able to buy textiles made by traditional weavers in Peru from their online website. The funds from Q'ente go towards the Mosqoy Foundation which provides good education for the local children and teens. You can also just make direct donations or sponsor a student from their website.

The next time you are thinking of getting a new puppy consider adopting one of the many homeless dogs in North America (and around the world). If you are buying from a pet store get a guarantee that they buy from breeders with high standards for the health and living conditions for their dogs.
