Fatima Haidara

Today I learned more about fair trade products threw Eve one of the interns from the lower eastside girls club she explained the difference between free trade and fair trade. Beverly the owner of Ghar Sita Mutu organization had an opening for the storefront and it was amazing. The Ghar Sista Mutu is an organization that takes in abandon children and mothers of less fortunate and teaches them how to make clothes, sew and create products that would be sold in the U.S. She’s inspired me to apply for a grant to visit Katmandu and document the kids in her program. I thought it was crazy how one person made such a huge difference in a community that hardly gets any attention. One of the artist Morley ask us about 3 words that comes up to our mind when we hear about the program and I explained to her how I felt hope, faith and change. I felt that she gave these kids hope, love and something to believe in I also explained to everyone how she remained me of Bob Marley song Africa unite because he talks about the children coming together and loving one another.
