Buying shoes

We had some money left over from a donation and asked the kids how we should spend it. They all wanted shoes. Buying shoes in Ghana, like everything else there, is a challenging experience.
But in the end, everyone was happy. One of the 7 year olds skipped out of the yard with his new shoes and said, "I'm going to sleep with them under my pillow."

more about beads

There is definately an interest in Krobo beads.

The June 2008 issue of BEADSTYLE MAGAZINE has a project that is done with recycled glass buttons - by the way, they mention Cross Cultural Collaborative.

And if you want to see a picture of Cedi, the beadmaker, and a brief bio, go to:

And if you get the urge to buy Krobo beads or buttons, we can sell them to you!
