Luck in Box Uil Kaars

Het bladgoud staat symbool voor "geluk" in Azië. Steek de kaars aan, en je zult geluk ervaren. Deze symbolische kaars is gemaakt door veelal vrouwelijke vakmensen in Oost Java, Indonesië. Door de productie van de kaarsen wordt alleen duurzame palmolie gebruikt. Naast vakgerichte training krijgen de werknemers ook de mogelijkheid om trainingen te volgen in andere vaardigheden, waardoor zij zich breed kunnen ontwikkelen.
