Ten Thousand Villages Store

Interesting shop in Austin with fair trade items and products from entrepreneurs and businesses that uplift the poor and oppressed around the world. For example, former sex workers create some of these items. The store gives you a short story of the workers who make the goods you buy. It has a very powerful effect on the consumer. Well, it did on me. I wish it was mandatory to provide the background to the main workers who make the product to consumers. Or it should be readily accessible to a curious consumer. Would people care if they knew the background to what they buy?
