Success Stories: Helping Hand 
 
laga handbagsRoy and Louise van Broekhuizen started a handbag factory and training center to help survivors of the 2006 Tsunami.
 
"We started Laga Handbags in 2006 employing 12 women. Today we support over 300 and with a recent spot on 'Oprah,' we are getting closer to our vision to help 1,200. We were very happy to find a very knowledgeable SCORE counselor who helped Laga with marketing our products. Tom Patty, our personal SCORE counselor, suggested we use social media, starting with Fan Pages on Facebook, as well as individual accounts, to help drive new friends to the Laga Handbags Fan Page."
