    Hands of Indego Africa

    A big THANK YOU to everyone who has backed these remarkable women and students in Rwanda. We're almost half way there with a month to go. Please tell you friends about our project. This is one of those situations where $600 will DIRECTLY IMPACT LIVES!

    And for you special backers, here's an exclusive slideshow of my photos of the engines that drive Indego Africa, the hands of our artisan partners in Rwanda.
