Visit to the Ambassador by Ecuadorian handcraft importer

Mr.& Mrs. Jones, owners of Handmade Ecuador Art visited the Ecuadorian Embassy some time ago, and met with the Ambassador. Later the couple received a letter from the Ambassador (left).

Letter text:
Dear Mr.& Mrs. Jones,
It was a great pleasure to meet you. I am honored that you visited my country so many times, and that you felt compelled to help our local artisans, first through the purchases you made for your store and now with your attractive website.

HandMadeEcuadorArt.com not only offers an impressive variety of Ecuadorian artwork, but is a wonderful snapshot of our country and its people. The site is striking in the amount of information it provides on Ecuadorian culture and the unique artwork it produces. I wish to encourage you in your endeavor to generate business for these men and women. I agree when you say their skill elevates them above most of the world's craftsmen, and that what they produc is truly art.

Finally let me say that your knowledge and enthusiasm for my country is heartwarming. I appreciate all of the work that you have done. It was, again, a pleasure to meet you.

Luis Gallegos
Ambassador of Ecuador
