Olivia & her Mushroom hut



Olivia, 23y, is one of 24 woman chosen in a M.S. program to help start a mushroom business. She graduates from the program in December and hopes to sell her mushrooms to local hotels and resturants. Met her Wednesday doing home visits with my friend Uta. Got to go into 6 different woman's homes in Ashaimen to see how the construction of the mushrooms huts went. She did a fine job! She is also a fabric maker and one day soon, she has invited me to go back to shadow her for a day in the tye dying fabric factory in the middle of the village to see the process. I'm very much looking forward to this :) Did I mention how much I'm loving all this!
