OUR COLLECTION — LATIN AMERICA — PERU  226. FINGER PUPPET NATIVITY WITH WISE MEN

Picture
The figures in this Nativity are knitted from wool yarn in Peru. The finger puppets include: Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, angel, donkey, cow, and three wise men. The puppets are made by women from the Manos Amigas group in Peru. The women who make them walk around knitting everywhere they go. The figures are 3.5 inches tall.
​
Manos Amigas, which means “hands joined in friendship,” works with small family cooperatives in Lima and in the Andean highlands. In addition to helping these poor families with employment, Manos Amigas also provides training programs to help strengthen their businesses. As a community outreach program, Manos Amigas donates 20 percent of their proceeds to a Sunday morning breakfast program held at the local church, which feeds up to 400 children from the surrounding community. The money donated to this church program also helps to pay for uniforms and school supplies for the children in the community.
