I wish you all could have been with me yesterday at the village. We had a meeting of everyone to distribute money from rugs sales in the US. They were so happy to have this cash. There was around $1000 divided up between 16 people. I want to put this into perspective. When they make a large amount at a sale it has varied impact. Some women only make 25 to 50 dollars others may make as much as $500. So the impact on each family varies. However they are grateful for every dollar and their optimism is refreshing.
After the distribution we all walked from Boni's house to the store. They are all so excited about the progress and the possibility it symbolizes. It was 6:00 PM and the light was magic. As we approached we could see the lovely new color on the outside. They choose a shade of melon.
