Nine handmade finger puppets make the nativity story interactive and fun.
Manos Amigas, which means “hands joined in friendship,” works with approximately 70 small family cooperatives in Lima and in the Andean highlands. In addition to helping these poor families with employment, Manos Amigas also provides training programs to help strengthen their businesses. As a community outreach program, Manos Amigas donates 20 percent of their proceeds to a Sunday morning breakfast program held at the local church, which feeds up to 400 children from the surrounding community. The money donated to this church program also helps to pay for uniforms and school supplies for the children in the community.
