This weekend I went to an event at
House on Fire called Rural to Ramp. This fashion show, organized by
Mustard Seed Africa, showcased many of the beautiful handcrafts which are created throughout rural Swaziland. With an amazing level of creative diversity, these fashions both entertained and amazed the spectators, including myself. I had a great time watching the show, and I was more impressed than ever by the talented women (and men) who live in this country. The money raised from the event will support the Swaziland Homeopathy Project in providing homeopathic treatment for men, women, and children throughout Swaziland living with HIV/AIDS.
