PJT began as an initiative of the Presbyterian Hunger Program. It began informally when a handful of Presbyterians visiting Peru through the Hunger Program's Joining Hands Network began bringing handcrafts made by their new colleagues back to the United States for sale in churches and among friends. Very quickly, thanks to the work of committed volunteers, that tiny partnership blossomed into a growing non-profit organization with a national outreach that sells a wide variety of Fair Trade products and creates educational materials about the importance of Fair Trade. http://partnersforjusttrade.org/ht/d/sp/i/179/pid/179
