PROFOUND IMPACT Sumalee's story is one of perseverance. She has struggled for years, relying on the erratic tourism market for her small shop's sales. By hiring her mother and other older workers to help with the hand-finishing of her jewelry, Sumalee has found a way to support her family and community.

PRESERVING TRADITIONS Sumalee learned sewing, embroidery, and weaving from her mother as a child. She continues to practice these traditional arts and often shares her knowledge with younger artisans.
