Craft store brings hope to disabled people in Jingshan
By Li Menghan in Hangzhou
In a roughly 30 square meter store, shelves are lined with bracelets carrying a gentle tea scent. These bracelets — each unique in its bead arrangement and showing signs of manual craftsmanship — bring hope to around 50 households with disabled people in Jingshan town in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.
"Having experienced employment challenges myself as a disabled person, I opened this craft store to create job opportunities for others like me," said Zhang Ruixia, the store's manager, seated in her wheelchair. The 36-year-old added that the orange color that dominates the store's logo, packaging and interior design was chosen for its warmth and inclusivity.
