However, many of you may not be aware that the Coccinelle's ethical Goodie Bag was designed expressly for the charitable Francesca Rava Foundation - N.P.H. Italia Onlus. Sales of previous designs of this Coccinelle Handbag were a big success, proceeds of which were donated to help build the rehabilitation center House of Little Angels located in Haiti. The House of Little Angles offers help to hundreds of disabled children living in Haiti who otherwise would be forsaken and left to suffer. The official opening ceremony for House of Little Angels was held on December 3, 2008.
More recent proceeds from the sale of the freshly redesigned Goodie Bag go to the new charitable project Francisville - New Work City which will again aid Haitian youth. Francisville will provide participants with training and new jobs so they can create a better future for themselves. This will be a self-sustaining project which seeks to provide a more prosperous future to the children who leave the orphanage and Schools organized by N.P.H.

Now she's thirty-five, divorced, and living in South Carolina, the place where she met Ravena for the first time. Back then her handbags sold at craft fairs throughout the Southeast instead of upscale boutiques, department stores, and gift shops. Ravena's booth had been next to hers at a craft show nine years ago in Columbia, one of Savannah's first craft fairs, and she had marveled at Ravena's sales savvy, feeling as green as the grass beneath her booth. Instead of ignoring a newbie, Ravena befriended her, offering lots of tips to increase sales
Dolce Gabbana Handbag, which worked and made the show a profitable one for both women.Savannah knew without a doubt the Goddess had placed this Wiccan sister in the Craft on her path that day, and they have remained best friends ever since. It's no wonder Ravena suggested Savannah should move to South Carolina after her divorce, encouraging her young friend the to start over on friendly ground.
Within a year she'd fattened her savings account and gathered a long list of retail and wholesale handbag clients. She quit her job and moved to the mountains of eastern North Carolina, a part of the country she'd always longed to explore. Savannah had finally realized her dream of owning a successful design business in the fashion industry. Sales increased every year
Armani Ties, and so did the prices of her handbags.Then she met Greer at a trade show, the publicist for a national chain of designer boutiques. Their marriage only lasted three years, long enough for Savannah to realize the quiet man, who made her laugh with his offbeat sense of humor, was actually a depressed and angry person. She left when she grew weary of his chameleon nature, when she understood his irate moods were no fault of hers, no matter how verbally abusive Greer became, no matter how often he accused her.
Rescue and recovery efforts began immediately.
Then on January 12, 2010 a catastrophic earthquake shook Haiti causing extensive widespread damage which included damage to some Francesca Rava Foundation - N.P.H. Italia Onlus projects. The children's hospital Saint Damien, opened in 2006, was badly damaged and required the evacuation of 150 sick children. Perimeter walls of the Francisville - New Work City collapsed in the earthquake. However, the 600 children at the orphanage of NPH and Rehabilitation center House of Little Angels were saved.
