Support Growth in the World




Thanks to all of you who have followed my work with Chantal over the two years while I was in Togo with her and the women of aklala. With a dream and a vision, her and I were able to start a successful business and connect her to others who can work towards sustaining her development.  Though I believe the ground-work we laid has made her independently successful and with that I feel that her and aklala stand as one.

While I make the transition to DC I will be working on promoting her work stateside.  If you have any interest in her products as a buyer please let me know and I can send you the current catalog.  New products will be added shortly and uploaded to this blog so check back soon!
