How are things going for you? Is your project in Rwanda moving forward? We have been very busy. We had an article about Africa Bags in Family Circle this summer and have just been trying to keep up every since.
We have expanded our product line into some more decorative bags and are looking for some guidance on the next new Africa Bag. Any interest in getting together sometime so that we could pick your brain for bag ideas?
Can you meet Friday for lunch, Golden or Boulder work for us. I think John Gassawanga from Rwanda will join us along with Ammanda Simmons, she visited Faith Alive last year and is going to open a fair Trade business.
call me cell 970 218 7200 to work out details
Dawn my email is trmccahan@qwestoffice.net it may be easier to communicate thru direct email since i can't get my Blackberry to download messages from passion Africa. can we meet this Friday for lunch? i need to coordinate with Ammanda Simmons if that works for you I can make it.
we have two groups of women in DRC Congo {mostly women who have been raped and suffered fistula damage} and Jos Nigeria { HIV positive women} who are working towards getting Fair Trade certification, they sew on treadle sewing machines.
They produce many intresting and creative designs and products , however many are not up to standards that would sell in USA , often the items look to African or sometimes not enough African they could use some design help.
can you meet with myself and Amanda Simmons to talk about Fair Trade and what we are doing in Nigeria and DRC with importing crafts. we would be glad to drive to Boulder or Golden and buy you lunch some day.
