When I got back to Dhaka from Kolkata, the head buyer from Ten Thousand Villages, Joyce Burkholder, had just arrived in Bangladesh. I've stayed on in Dhaka since then observing her as she visits handicraft projects and works with Prokritee designers. It has been so helpful to observe her and see what the North American buyer wants and to learn more about the entire process of handicrafts from design to shipment. These men came to Dhaka from their village to show us how they make baskets.

Wow! They are really talented!
Beka, Pastor Bill created a link from the FF web page to your blog. Mom was mortified at your hurling narrative. I hope and pray you don't have any repeats.
