Vacation
Maura hanging out with kids from the OOEIM orphanage outside of Elmina.

Description: Women in Progress had a handful of writing-related projects that needed attention.

Accomplishments: Maura's varied background enabled her to assist WIP with several projects:
  • Assisted with writing several grant applications.
  • Designed the packaging and tags for the new "African Christmas Spirits".
  • Helped with updating the Women in Progress website with stories about the new Global Mamas and their achievements.
  • Took the lead in updating WIP's "Book of Women" that contains pictures and stories of the women that are shown at trade shows and festivals in the US where Global Mamas products are sold.
Highlights: Visiting a number of the women of the cooperative were by far the most memorable experiences Maura had, only topped by getting to know people in the neighborhood. Maura says that Ghana slowed her down really quickly, but that she didn't mind and would have liked to spend more time in Ghana.
