The Artisan Discovery Foundation was formed in May 2012. It is a 501(c)3 charitable organization meant to identify indigenous artisans from impoverished and rural communities in the U.S. and abroad. By assisting people to further develop existing or new artisan craft, they will be able to pave eventual pathways out of poverty by selling their goods through our Artisan Discovery marketplace. The marketplace plans to become rated as a 'fair trade' corporation. The foundation will carefully research, identify, and help to fund community development projects in the selected areas, which will help sustain impoverished people and their communities.
B'Nai Shalom North is a welcoming, inclusive, traditional conservative congregation, located in Thornhill, Ontario - just north of Toronto.It is under active development, and we would not normally let you see it in this state, but we wanted to have something ready in time for Rosh Hashanah, particularly so that we have a place where you can get on our email list, to receive announcements and keep you informed of our activities and progress. .It is on its way to being a fully-fledged site, with many useful pages, including links to helpful sites, a blog and event calendar, and on-line ticket ordering.
