Mekizodesigns area rugs are hand knotted in Nepal, Kathmandu. We have known this company for 12 years and work closely with a second generation factory. This particular company has 70 workers that have their individual expertise, weavers, dyers, and labourers that dry and finish the rugs before it is shipped to North America and abroad. They were all safe working at the factory when the earthquake happened. Feeling the quake they all rushed back to their villages. Devastated with the roads all torn up, they found their homes flattened by the quake and worse some families had no one to return to. Some had to find them under the rubble and grieve for their, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters and often the whole family that they support. So no homes, no water, no food.
How would you like to go to bed one day in your Egyptian cotton sheets and wake up alone or even to dig yourself out of your bedroom and to emerge on the top to find your whole neighbourhood decimated? Well you might not ever have the chance to feel or to experience such a devastation, so please be grateful, be kind to one another. You are living a privileged life here in Canada, so even just to offer a smile of kindness to a stranger is generosity enough.
We are so grateful that small little Halifax has a big heart and we cannot thank you enough for making "Nepal Fundraiser" an event to remember. Thank you to the local designers, www.dwdinteriors.com and www.jonathanlegate.com who attended and donated to the event.
