Farmers Insurance Agent in Tucson, AZ

Make 2021 A Year Of Positive Change!

Let me help you overcome three of your possible challenges!

Challenge # 1. You believed social media posts when they said that knitting would be a way to relieve your stress during quarantines and lockdowns. Then found out you hate knitting. Now you have enough yarn to make 5 seaters, 4 scarves and 3 hats and no inclination to use it.

Challenge # 2. On January 1st, you resolved to declutter your living space, BUT you’re a crafter and all crafters have a stash of materials. What do you do with yarn that you need to get rid of to free up space?

Challenge # 3. You sincerely want to help people but don’t know where to start.

Donating is the solution!

Please donate to “Sewing For Living”, a project sponsored by Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset, (RCBUS) which is teaching local women to sew and crochet.

Why it is so important for local women? Balinese women have always had multiple jobs: take care children and family, dong all the housework, providing help to the community, and assisting at temple and cultural events, among other duties. Many of these women are marginalized: they have no rights to any family assets and go to their husband’s village upon marriage. If they try to separate from their husband, the original family will not take them back, leaving them with no livelihood. It is important for women to make their own money, not only for their self-esteem, but to enable each of them to support her entire family. This is especially true right now as 85% of Bali’s economy relies on tourism and international tourists have not been allowed in Bali since April, 2020. Yes, many families are facing an existence with no income.

Please help these women.

Rid yourself of that yarn in your crafter’s stash that you’ll never use. Or go out and purchase yarn on sale or from a thrift or secondhand store. Send these materials to: Ginger Garcia Insurance Group LLC
All donations will be personally delivered to Bali by a Mrs. Green herself! Feel free to call me with any questions.
I appreciate your support!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Finished products to be sold.

The women who worked on that project received about $580 usd which was distributed to the women dependent on the items they produced. This is an amazing amount of money from them and will help feed families, ensure that kids have school supplies and support an upcoming holiday, Galungan, that is very important to the local religion and culture. It’s impact is similar to that of Christmas in the States. This was all accomplished because of your donations from Rotary Club Tucson Sunrise. You definitely changed the lives of these women in a most positive manner! Even more good news. Another shipment leaves for Germany tomorrow.

The Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance (SAACA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the creation, preservation and advancement of the Arts.
SAACA strengthens the bonds between people, place and purpose through collaborative, arts-driven experiences.

Southern Arizona has long served as a hub for art and culture. But despite the profusion of talent, our creative individuals found difficulties in making a living from their work and sharing it with the community.

We created SAACA (formerly the Greater Oro Valley Arts Council) to address these needs by cultivating programming that puts a spotlight on our local creatives and celebrates our unique culture, while providing direct opportunities for artists to make and sell their work.
​
To date, SAACA has created over 300,000 arts-driven experiences, from innovative community festivals and cultural celebrations to creative sector development, and accessible arts enrichment programs. We continue to grow both our footprint and our impact as we pursue our mission of strengthening the bonds between people, place and purpose.
