The Alheli Workshop in Barahona, a group of 13 women and young people, is making handcrafted dolls and hoping to sell them for Christmas. The dolls are made completely by hand with embroidery details. Their larimar (pale blue semi-precious stone unique to the area) eyes and other details make them attractive Christmas presents. Their label clearly states that they come from Barahona. The gift sets come with flowers and small sacks of nuts, organic coffee or brown sugar from Barahona, as well as oregano from the region. The dolls are 56cm tall and 16cm wide. They sell for RD$500 each. For contact details to place orders, contact Elena Nunziatini of the Barahona Tourism Cluster at clusterprovinciabarahona@yahoo.es
