Antara Raman, a communications intern at SCARF, describes how SCARF clients are artisans. They create each product with utmost care and thought, channeling their talents and emotions into every item they make. They use the creative process as a form of therapy and self-expression. Their work not only showcases the beautiful products they have created but represents the unique journeys that they each navigate. By supporting these individuals, you directly contribute to their success and become a part of the process, appreciating the potential of creativity and strength within each artist.
