Leather and Lapis Lazuli Adjustable Snap Bracelet, "Blue Soul"

Chaloemphon and his wife struggled for many years and they still struggle. Even though they have a small workshop, it is not in an area that lets them benefit from the tourist trade. They depend on their Novica sales to help keep their shop open and to contribute to their monthly living expenses.

Chaloemphon's daughter is a full-time nurse who is also studying for a master's degree in nursing. He and his wife contribute to her education expenses.

Chaloemphon has received 3 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $2800 and the most recent for $2850.
