Back from Africa


We are home!  Unfortunately, we were not able to find stable internet to write updates on the blog, but here they are just a little late...

London

March 21, 2009

During our 12-hour layover in London we met with Just Trade an English fair trade company that Donavan is good friends with.   Laura their jewelry designer met with us to talk about their experience in the fair trade business.  They work with Peruvian women and have their own project there.  Our first business meeting in London!  We soaked up Laura’s experience and knowledge like a sponge.  She was able to give us our own lesson of jewelry on the streets of London.  At that point we knew we were cool.  Laura gave us advise about doing business training as well as how to improve our product.  They have been working in Peru for a few years so their experience is very valuable to us on our journey and at the point of still being new in the business.
