Sucely Ventura was recently hired as Director of Sewing Projects. Sucey has worked in the sewing workshop for four years and has signed a three-year contract with Milagros. Guaranteed in this contract is a salary substantially more than the Guatemalan minimum wage. Also included are a health care stipend, paid time off, a laptop and cell phone.

Sucy led the design and production of the Sucey bag, the first product to be placed in the Trades of Hope catalogue, and has sold out!

Profits from Milagros revenues will allow Gracia to hire more employees for the Milagros workshops.
