Go baby, go! and I love you.

I work for the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market (www.folkartmarket.org) and we had the great pleasure and honor to have Janet Nkubana from Gahaya Links through Fair Winds Trading attend the Market in July 2008 to sell their stunning baskets. They earned over $40,000 in 2 days and went home with greatly needed cash to help improve their center and contribute to many social programs that improve the quality of life of the women and their families. Janet is returning on July 11 & 12, 2009 to Santa Fe, New Mexico to join another 125 artists from over 40 countries at the Market. We invite you all to come to the Market and see more of the work of Gahaya Links and other artists and coops from around the world. These are beautiful and compelling photographs.

Hard to believe it was 13 years ago that the genocide began, what a sad state of affairs our world is in - but how interesting that there isn't observeable evidence of the trauma they have been through - the adaptable human spirit? I hope you have a safe journey, learn lots, keep an open heart and you'll uncover many treasures! I'll look forward to reading your blog. Randall and I send you our best - Mary Hi Adam,
