Entrepreneurs and Crafty People: Want to Volunteer?

In addition to our volunteer positions working in the classroom, gardening and building, we would like to develop our trash collecting/fundraising plan.

We need an enthusiastic person who would like to help turn milk-cartons into wallets, plarn (plastic bags) into handbags and sell these items to raise money for San Gabriel Kindergarten.

How will this work?

Local businesses save plastic bags, milk, juice and wine cartons that you will collect and transform into crafts to be sold as a fundraiser.

Your job:

Collect the materials, design sample products and work to train community members to produce more.

Sell these items:
Online?  Locally?  Internationally?

The sky is the limit with this project.  Think outside the juice box.  What else can we make out of trash (help the environment) and sell (fundraise for San Gabriel)?  Can we work with schools in the United States to help make and sell these products... building relationships and making connections with schools across the world?
