Market/craft shop

In january this year 2014 we started of with a craft shop. This has been a blessing to the home.  We have started making some money at the craft shop. Sofar three muzungus have stoped to buy stuff and community members. This is really a blessing. Girls supply the craft shop with baskets and we also buy mats at a low price from the community. This has made Miryante village a place to be.Thanks for adding such good values to the project  because this is all gotton from the donations that you contribute towards the home.
