Taking A Turn Toward Technology
14th mars 2007
A former student from Carleton College in Minnesota contacted Geekcorps Mali in order to receive technical aid on equipment that she will be using in her project in Segou. Sara had first come to Mali in the winter of 2006 on a 3 month study abroad program. The group of exchange students met with a women’s organization called Nyeleni. This group is located in Segou and specializes in weaving rugs. The students donated wool carters to the women to be used for combing wool. Upon return to the states, they raised $700 by selling photos of Mali on campus. The funds were raised with the idea to support future partnership projects with the Nyeleni womens’ group.
