She and her husband have been spending the last few summers in Tanzania as volunteers working with the Maasai. She brought along a little boy my daughter's age who is living with them till he turns eighteen. Leyeyo and my daughter are now 'best friends'.<BR/><BR/>They've been teaching the women there (who do all the work) some skills to improve their quality of life and make some money, along with micro-loans to get capital for their small businesses. <BR/><BR/>One of the ways they have been doing that it to crochet those plastic bags into tote bags to sell to tourists! They have been doing really well with it.Alicia Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14458700009032102949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-31333386422167877512008-04-02T13:05:00.000-05:002008-04-02T13:05:00.000-05:00Thanks for this post; I feel like A Bad Knitter on...Thanks for this post; I feel like A Bad Knitter on Ravelry because I don't feel the need to spin...LindyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447120411680685852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-40131597608931133802008-04-02T11:19:00.000-05:002008-04-02T11:19:00.000-05:00Looks like the spaghetti monster, flying through s...Looks like the spaghetti monster, flying through space...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
