Greeting Cards
Sets of Greeting Cards Showing Disabled People at Work
and Play, Hand Colored by Village Children
Drawings from David Werner’s books Nothing
About Us Without Us and Disabled
Village Children have been reproduced, then hand colored
by disabled and non-disabled village children. The cards
show children and youth playing and actively participating
in daily activities at PROJIMO
(the Program of Rehabilitation Organized by Disabled Youth
of Western Mexico).
These colorful cards are especially appropriate for organizations
of disabled persons or by anyone who wants society to
look at the strengths of disabled folks, not their weaknesses.
Proceeds go to the young artists and to PROJIMO.
Let your “Season’s Greetings” cards carry a message of
dignity and opportunity for disabled persons.
Toys and Holiday Ornaments
This holiday put our hand colored wooden toys
on your Christmas Tree. These toys are made by disabled
and non-disabled children of the small town of Ajoya in
Mexico. Ajoya is the home base for Project PROJIMO’s Work
Program which focuses on creating jobs and training for
village youth.
The toys, however, do more for the projects
than bring in money. The children learn woodworking skills,
and how to play and work together in a fun setting. The
toys are fun for kids of all ages!
The colorful toys shown here can be hung on
overhead bars for stimulation or just for fun. Kids can
pull a string and it will move the legs and arms.
Bird Prints of the Sierra
Madre Charcoal Ink Paintings
These 11" by 17" prints of paintings by David
Werner portray four characteristic birds of Mexico's Sierra
Madre Occidental. They are available to you for a small
contribution. While each painting is a work of art, it is
also a detailed study of the bird species, together with
a botanically accurate depiction of typical plant species
and native insects. David Werner studied Sumie ink painting
under a Zen Master in Kioto, Japan, in 1962. His black and
white bird portraits reveal a blend between Eastern emphasis
on essence and space, and Western emphasis on detail.
