Handicraft Festival in Capital of Laos





Handicraft Festival 2010 at Vientiane

1st to 5th of Nov 2010, our project joined in Handicraft festival in Vientiane in Laos. There were more than 50 booths from every province in Laos. After I came to Laos, I got interested in Handicraft materials, coz it's something we can't imitate. wonderful and incredible things. it's the technical and traditional way, feel it's really beautiful!!!



one of our products is a bags made of Banana Fiber, which is new products in Lao country. ODOP supports a village which is famous of Cotton and Beads textile in Saravanh Province, and they are minority races called Katu. Of cause they can't speak English and even lao is not their native language. Whole of these things makes me really interested in this village and this product. I was not interested in textile before I met them at all.



Anyway in this event, I helped the producers,
and finally I felt that I'm contributing for producers,
not for the project or JICA.
That is something social workers always have to feel.
What I have done is not for Project.

Now I'm close friends of them =)
