Sigma Lambda Gamma hosts annual Chasqui-Manos Andinas Bolivian Sweater Sale

Submitted by Elvia Lopez-Morales

Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority Inc., a registered independent student organization, will host its annual Chasqui-Manos Andinas Bolivian Sweater Sale from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 3-7 on Bosco Plaza.

Chasqui-Manos Andinas is a family-run fair trade business that travels the U.S. selling handmade alpaca goods from indigenous communities in Bolivia and Peru. Every purchase directly supports sustainable living conditions for the Andes indigenous communities. Purchasing also helps the Andean artisans share their traditions and hand-knit products. Sweaters, shawls, hats, gloves and other accessories will be available for purchase.

The members of Sigma Lambda Gamma are grateful for the opportunity to host this event again and support Chasqui-Manos Andinas and the Andean culture. We hope to see you all there.
