Sustainable Development and Macy's

I was searching around the website of my favorite store, Macy's, for holiday gift ideas and came across something really interesting. This semester I am taking a development class and of course we are discussing sustainable development and Micro-Finance. While searching around macys.com, I discoverd that Macy's is now selling products (baskets, silks and ornaments) directly from women's groups in Rwanda, Cambodia and Indonesia. I've always loved Macy's and this just adds to my opinion. I think it says a lot about sustainable development and micro-finance loans when a huge store, such a Macy's, becomes part of great projects like these. I'm attaching the website if you would like to take a lot at what Macy's is doing and the products that they are selling.
