Vacation
Jenny, a history teacher back in America, sits in on class at a local school.

Description: New product design is an on-going process involving multiple stages of trial and error, redesign, and finally a finished product. With the opening of the new Women in Progress office in Odumase-Krobo, WIP needed to launch new beaded products (jewelry and bag charms) using the new beads produced by the new members of the Global Mamas Cooperative in Krobo.

Achievements: With Jenny's interest in jewelry making and her background in IT, she was able to:
  • Research new product/jewelry ideas for the Krobo Cooperative.
  • Design a line of handbag charms.
  • Work with two Global Mamas in producing African Spirits in the form of bag charms.
  • Continue the development of recycled greeting cards using batik fabric scraps.
  • Inventory existing computer hardware and set up new computers in the WIP office.
 Highlights: The most memorable part of Jenny's trip was being in Accra the day Ghana beat the US in the World Cup and getting to see just how important soccer is to the national identity. As an American, Jenny thought it was interesting to see how they reacted to her that day. It made the world feel a lot smaller.
