My passion for travel started from my childhood days, growing up in Guyana, South America with a father who travelled the world on business. His gifts represented a world that I knew I too would one day soon explore.
After following my passion and exploring countries around the world for the past 40 years, I discovered some of the most beautiful handiwork from local artisans with no resources to market their handicrafts outside their communities.
I would fill my suitcase with their treasures and return home with the promise that one day I would make a difference in these artisans lives.
Today after participating in many Fair Trade Conferences, developing relationships with groups and artisans worldwide and finding the perfect location on Salt Spring Island...MONDO Trading Company was born!
It has been an exciting experience! We look forward to welcoming you into our store.
We offer a way for you to become part of the story and give a gift that makes an impact.
