Second Handicraft Market!


Last Sunday October 21st we celebrated the II Handicraft Market by the Women in Ujung, part of Bersahara program. The venue was held at Solah Beach Bar & Restaurant, in Kuta Lombok. From 12-8pm the women had the opportunity to interact with foreigners and explain their work, based on traditional fabrics and inspired by modern designs taught by our Spanish volunteer, Babette.

Selling

We had visitors from many places, Indonesia, Australia, America, Spain, France and Holland, among others. The women were very happy with the almost 1,500,000Rp sales they made, which gives them enthusiasm and hope to continue. Additionally, Solah Beach & Bar Restaurant donated a % of their sales from 5-8pm to support Bersahara Organization Costs.

Women Happy to have their own market running

The Women in Ujung and Bersahara are very grateful and appreciate the support from Solah and all the visitors.

See you next month!
