Perspect Workshop
Date: 19th April 2010
Number of participants: 10 women
Location: Perspect - Tuinenhoven
On 19th April 2010 project W.I.F.E.S was introduced to a group of women at Perspect - Tuinenhoven Ijsselmonde. The background of Green Waters foundation and the purpose for project W.I.F.E.S was explained in short.
The group of 10 women participated on this creative recycling workshop knowing that the products they make will be a contribution to our projects in Tanzania – MIKITA and CHANCE to sponsor marginalized women to attend skills training courses and orphans to receive education.
MIKITA sponsors women who are widows, single mothers and women with health problems and/or disabilities to attend courses in tailoring, tie and dye making, entrepreneurship and accessories making courses.
CHANCE is meant to offer secondary school scholarship for orphans in Tanzania.
The group learnt how to make paper jewelry beads and afterwards created their own necklaces and bracelet designs. They each had a unique style and we are very happy that they donated these necklaces to our organization. We hope to sell the products on Africa day event, 24th April, Haagse Hogeschol Den Haag at Green Waters stand. Everyone is invited.
The workshop was organized by Perspect representative Gre Korteweg and given by Artist Stella Evelyne Tesha. More details will be provided by Perspect and we will add updates soon. Green Waters foundation thanks everyone for their participation and contribution.
