Meet My New Friend from Old Delhi!

This is a really sweet young woman that I met who grew up in Old Delhi. I had the good fortune to meet her at the Ten Thousand Villages' Managers Conference that we had in Calgary in May 2008.

Shaista has really great energy. After our meeting in Calgary we actually brought her to Vancouver so that people in our community would have a chance to meet a real live artisan who makes some of the handicrafts that we sell in our stores across Canada.

It is really neat watching her work. Here she is the middle of embroidering tiny beads onto little change purses.

Hi Danielle,

I think that this blog is a very cool thing for all of us at Villages to have access to. Thanks so much for creating it!
