As always, so much to write about but no time to sit still and write it. In the first week we’ve covered a huge amount of ground. I’ve learnt what the group can do and what they struggle with, then redesigned products to fit. It was a huge high point on Wednesday last week when I taught the new designs to the larger group with learning disabilities and they *all* took to it like ducks to water. I was so happy! Betsaida and I have scoured Areqipa’s maze-like streets for new suppliers and ever wider varieties of beads and fabrics. We’ve also been working hard on the less glamourous but essential side of running a social enterprise – accounts, invoices, order forms, materials record sheets… yesterday was gruelling but very productive, with everyone pitching in to help which was really encouraging.
This morning we’re off to look for outlets to sell our products locally. We’ll be pounding the streets all day so - those of you who do – please pray for a fruitful day, thanks.
So much more to say, but will have to wait for this evening. Lots of pics to come shortly too. Thanks for reading x
