Comparte

COMPARTE (Comercializadora de Productos Artesanales S.A.) is also the Spanish word meaning "to share." COMPARTE was started by USEC (The Association of Christian Businessmen and Executives), a non-profit organization made up of Christian professionals, businessmen, and executives dedicated to incorporating their Christian values into all areas of their lives. Chilean handcrafts from COMPARTE reflect the country's "geographical extravaganza:" copper products and cactus rainsticks from the Atacama desert; ceramics from the red soil of Pomaire; and jewelry made with the traditional deep blue lapis stones mined in the high Andes.
