Description
 
These boxes are simply beautiful! They are made of mahogany and have a wonderful shiney finish. The heart box measures 4 inches high and 4 inches wide. The box has a small scroll inside that tells the story of Only a Child shelter where it was made.

Only a Child maintains a shelter and a carpentry shop for youth in Guatemala City. The shelter is far more than just a place to sleep. The shelter provides a surrogate family in which the kids are taught accountability and responsibility. They must contribute time and effort daily toward meeting the needs of the family. In return, it gives them something to belong to, a place where they are respected and cared for, a place where they can grow and develop an identity complete with confidence and self-esteem.

Likewise, the carpentry shop, where program participants produce these finely crafted mahogany boxes, serves a higher purpose. The young people who work in the shop are taught that they have the potential to learn and succeed. They know the satisfaction of producing objects of real beauty and of helping to support the program that nurtures them, and they learn woodworking and management skills that will ensure their independence in later life.
