Looking Forward


Aloha !


The bag sales have been a great success!

Now it's time to look forward, and plan for what comes next. The quality and beauty of the Chetana Women Skills Development Project products are undeniable, and the possibility of repurchasing is definite. We've had fab-u-lous reviews on the bags from all of our satisfied customers, who love their unique and stylish new bags. People here are also loving the fact that their purchases support such noble causes. Power to the consumer! And we still have about a dozen styles left and available for purchase by donation!!! We can ship anywhere in the US, too!

Here is a short and interesting article, from the Room to Read website, about Nepal and its Educational Challenges. It
says that 57% of females in Nepal cannot read or write. Luckily, there are programs like Astha Women School, that provide opportunities in education for women and girls, and super dedicated and amazing women who work tirelessly, day in and day out, to ensure the long-term sustainability of these projects. A big thank you and shout out to those women, and to all of the people who have joined us in supporting them!

Congratulations to Astha Women School on their third anniversary. Keep it up, Ladies! Word is they are working on Professional Women Skills Program of their own, so hopefully we will soon have products from the Astha Women School Co-op available in the US market.


Also, we are looking to set up some kind of donation system online, since several supporters have expressed interest in sponsoring the school in this way. If there is anybody with some expertise/experience in this area, who can help
us to set this up, please let us know!

There are a couple of other things in the works here, but you'll have to stay tuned to find out!

Take Care and Until Next Time...
