By Catherine Craig | Director CPALI
I am thrilled to report that despite the fact that all members of the team, despite face masks, hand washing, social distancing, have recovered from bouts of Covid. Thanks to you they minimized their contacts with others outside the team workshop. As I know many of understand, minimizing contacts in an African village is very difficult. Mamy, the team director was very, very ill. Somehow, they all got through it and continued working.
Because we have lost several of our buyers and the world economy is depressed, the workers had time to develop their own artistic skills and ideas. I am attaching a few pictures of new textile designs. The large textile is made up of 6 different pieces sewn together for shipping. As a whole it is magnificent and suggests to me celebration - I can't decide whether I should break it up or keep it as a whole. Any suggestions? Ideas of buyers? museums?
The team is now on their yearly, month-long break. They will be managing the funds you donated themselves and use them for health care and welfare programs of their own design. We are hopeful that 2021 will be an extraordinarily good year for all.
If you haven't had a chance to donate but would like to, the program is still accepting funds.
Thank you again and Happy 2021!
