Independent Thinkers
Reading a newspaper was simply not part of the artisans' lives. Many of the women cannot read or write and they have little free time. Now, thanks to the cooperatives' weekly newspaper discussion groups, the women have become enthusiastic consumers of all types of news. The articles, chosen by an artisan on a rotating basis, are read aloud and then discussed, giving the women the opportunity to learn, share, be inspired, and, sometimes, laugh. Each group keeps a record of the articles for reference.

Good quality and fit
Jul 22, 2023 | By Willow
This top can be used by itself or as a jacket over a T-shirt. The round collar and white embroidery are striking. It fit me well -- shrank a little, despite washing in cold water and line drying -- and the colors are vivid. I also enjoy the fact that it's 100 percent cotton, so breathable in hot weather. I have gotten compliments when I wear it. Note that it must be hand washed and the dye must be set with vinegar or salt the first time. The water will be VERY blue on that first washing.
