The good folks at Travel and Leisure magazine are running an excellent story this month called Women at Work that highlights women in four collectives in India and Kenya, including the Samburu women at Ol Malo who make our beaded bowls and lidded pots.As you can see from the photo, they have done a wonderful job showing the richness of the culture and the products. The story also provides a very nice profile of Julia Francombe, the woman behind the beading project, detailing many of her efforts to help the local people both preserve their ancient traditions and flourish in a modern world with all its inherent problems and incredible opportunities. There is also a slide show and links to the collectives. Enjoy!
