Exposure Visits: Kazuri
Dorcus Beads is focused on mentoring and building the capacity of the women who are linked to the production in Kenya and in Uganda.
As part of the exposure visit for learning, the team organized a one day tour at the Kazuri beads to see/talk/reflect and experience a different setting for beads production. The team travelled from Kasikeu Kenya ( 2.5hrs drive) away from the City of Nairobi and joined in the one day visit to Kazuri in Karen ( Nairobi).
The team was taken on a tour right from the kneading of the clay to the final products at display, such an overwhelming but organized process.
"It was a learning opportunity and a motivation for me to see this" said Margaret the team leader from Kasikeu.

The Dorcus beads team, spent one day at the International School of Kenya (ISK) for a renaissance culture and craft fair for 2009 which was organized by the American women's Association of Kenya (AWA).
The team which comprised of April, Meble and Margaret spent the day at ISK sharing the stories of the recycled magazine products as well as making new connections to expand the market within Nairobi.
The team was also joined by a friend from the States who became part of the big sale for that day.
Great job AWA - the craft was fantastic.
