Many of you remember Grace Bateman. She came to Kaleo on a Sunday morning and told us about her work with Peru Paper Company. Grace started Peru Paper Company in 2005 to give Peruvian women a fair employment opportunity making hand-made greeting cards to be sold in the U.S.
Things have picked up for PPC. Peru Paper greeting cards actually made it into twenty-five “swag bags” at the Academy Awards! (Those are the gift bags that the stars find in their rooms.) So Oprah, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Bridges, Morgan Freeman, and 21 other stars found a PPC greeting card in their swag bags!
Here’s the FOX 40 News segment.
