On this podcast, I talk with Jamie Laslo, who co-founded Ornaments4Orphans with her husband, Scott. We talk about how they’re using ornaments to empower artisans and preserve families in East Africa, and Jamie and I share our favorite Christmas decorations, traditions, movies, and songs. We also have a major disagreement about a Christmas movie. Will our friendship survive? (Spoiler alert: it does.)
I love what she says about why they developed Ornaments4Orphans after working in aid: “We felt like we were just putting on bandaids after awhile. We wanted to go deeper.” Take a listen here, or on Stitcher or iTunes!
