< p > The < a href = "http://jordanriver.jo" > Jordan River Foundation< / a > has a showroom on Rainbow Street where they < em > brilliantly< / em > showcase traditional, everyday objects from the region in a fresh, modern way. It’ s like someone went and replaced all the things in your grandma’ s rural kitchen with newer, brightly accented ones. All of the wood, cloth, and clay work here is produced by people in local communities, and, as far as I know, the proceeds from sales go back to supporting them.< / p >
