Yesterday’s event at the Cooper
YMCA Holiday Bazaar & Craft Fair went great!! I had a friend there to help. Her presentation skills were way better than mine, as I realized how emotionally
attached I am to the project & to the women who are sewing the BOMOI BAGS in
Congo. Whenever someone approached, I couldn’t help but want to share the
entire story of the DRC & a give a rather detailed "glimpse" into the lives of each
woman. Ah! I couldn’t help it. I need to make my presentation brief:
“These
bags are made by women in Congo & they receive the profits.”
Several of the women who made
a purchase were curious to know how the women in Congo will be spending their
profits…
When I asked the women in Congo
to fabricate the BOMOI BAGS, I also required them to submit a personal
narrative questionnaire. Look to my next blog to find out more of the women's home
village, family life & hopes for the future!
