My Work

In November I suggested we get a catalog together so the Peace Corps Vol. could order baskets for All Vol - they would be the ones that we knew we would sell then we would bring others to sell for those that still wanted but had not purchased.

Well when I got back from South Africa I lite a small fire and got Nyariga Craft Center get one together.  PC was very sweet and emailed a copy to all the PCV's for me since I do not have everyone's email.

We got about 15 orders but they were not ready when we left for All Vol.  The craft center did a show on Saturday at the Farmers Mgt at the Embassy that I had set up and then came to Bunso where we all were at the college.


Emma made sure she was first in line oh yeah no line just go and grab!!!  Emma is one of my Upper East Children that has moved to Takoradi! 

Emma wants to have this one please BUT please bring to her because she doesn't want to lug around!! My children are all the same!!! Love them all!!!

Sarah is sporting the most popular bag at the show.  I think they lasted maybe 15 minutes and I brought about 10 more down to Accra and they were all gone the same day I was here.  Sarah and her husband Jordan shared the same ex pat until they went back to America.  Fun getting to know my Upper West Children.                                                                                   

Here is Richie from cashew country.  He designed a picnic basket and Tahiru is going to see if he can have it made.  Richie was the hit of the talent show if all my information is right!!! Yes, I went to bed before the end of the show, sorry Richie!!








Since the ordered baskets were not ready I came down to deliver what I could and left the rest at the Accra Rest for them to pick up and pay for when they are in Accra again.  Everyone was so good about being able to pick them up.  The baskets will keep me busy until the end of my service.  They are fun but it is more fun getting pretty things that people love.
