Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Katherine organised the traditional Christmas and Easter handicraft bazaars of women refugees and socially vulnerable people for 15 years now, in order to help them sell their work and earn money, which would allow them to spend these two major holidays with their own families unburdened with financial problems.
Their Royal Highnesses invited all citizens to come to Delta City, visit the handicraft bazaar and buy gifts that will delight their loved ones and help these hardworking and devoted women who exhibit their handicrafts at the Bazaar.
