Imani workshop

Surgeries ended a little early on Wednesday afternoon due to a couple of cancelations, so some stayed at the hospital to finish post-op rounds while others went to visit the Imani workshop. Rather than me trying to explain what it is, their website does a better job than I can. http://www.ampathkenya.org/our-programs/family-preservation-initiative/imani-workshop/.

In the 3rd photo, Naomi, our tour guide, is talking to Bruce, Kathi, and Joel.

The fourth photo shows an artisan slicing pages from an Oprah magazine. These are rolled in an adhesive and become colorful beads for jewelry. Finished beads are sorted by color and shown in the last photo. Oprah magazines are preferred as the pages are typically very colorful. Donated magazines are shipped from Indiana to the workshop in Eldoret.
