The artisans of our Wild Hope Artisan Project have been working hard on new products to release for Christmas 2008. Gathering for a design seminar is always a great event. Some of the women travel for 2 days just to get to Arusha! During our recent days together, the artisan leaders worked with Tammy Russell and Byron Borden to perfect new ideas. It was 3 days of beads, beads and more beads, not to mention inspiration, fun and friendship.
There are now 65+ Maasai women earning a fair trade through our project. It is always wonderful to hear the stories of the difference their income is making for their children, extended families and the communities they live in.
The photographs below capture some of the collaborative effort of the Artisan team.
