• Sitting at the Hotel Roi Christophe, my internet source in Cap Haitien, on this Sunday evening.  Spent most of today sitting in the garden crunching numbers for pot holder costs and production.  
• On Thursday and Friday, women from the Milot Co-op came to Cap Haitien to work with our newest co-op - a group of students from a UN sponsored program.  It was great to see the support and cooperation between both groups.   
• I hope to receive another shipment of fabric and batting tomorrow via IBC Airlines that I can drop off before leaving for home on Tuesday.   
• This work is exciting - but the most meaningful time is when I meet with co-op members each trip.  That's when I'm reminded that this isn't just a fun adventure for me, it's a life changing opportunity for these women - and their children.  I went from coming to Haiti for a look to operating a real business in what feels like the blink of an eye.  So quickly that I'm not sure I fully understood the weight of my commitment to a group of women that are so deserving.

Launching The Pot Holder Project

The Pot Holder Project has been in the works for 18 months.  Through trial and error, and the deep commitment of our co-op members, we're ready to launch a line of beautifully crafted pot holders and oven mitts to the American marketplace.  We're excited to introduce our line to public and private schools as a fundraising service project that will benefit both the schools, and our co-op members.  Stay with us as we move forward in this exciting and uplifting journey.
