What the world creates by hand. The
sons of a Peace Corps member, Roberto and Andy Milk had a lifelong
interest in artisans in developing countries. They teamed up with Armenia
Nercessian, a UN human-rights officer, to create Novica.com, an online

Novica operates chiefly in association with National Geographic, NPR also
helps to promote them.
