I have an adopted niece who is Choco Indian from Panama.  I want to
buy her a natitivy scene, preferably made of the local soapstone but
if not that any medium is acceptable.  I want it made in Panama by the
Choco Indians.  I want to import it into the U.S.  I need help finding
a source.

Request for Question Clarification by journalist-ga on 24 Dec 2002 00:08 PST

Hi, I was just wondering how your quest turned out and if
http://www.ginnups.com was able to assist you.

Hope your holiday season is a safe and joyous one.  : )

While I was not able to locate a nativity scene made by Choco Indians
in soapstone or another medium, I did locate one importer who may be
able to query the Choco artists in area for you or perhaps negotiate a
custom order.  The web site of the importer is located at
http://ginnups.com/ and I found it in a search for "choco indians art
import."

I hesitate to post this as an answer because the contact may prove
unhelpful.  I would suggest you email the site owners at
info@ginnups.com to ascertain if they will be able to assist you.
