Sasha is a store
in Kolkata that is similar to Aarong in Bangladesh. It promotes fair trade
in country and is doing pretty well. The store also provides help with
marketing and design it many small groups in the area. There were some
pretty impressive pieces of art
here....this is also where was get the ever popular strings of
animals.
After visiting Sasha, Ed and Twila Miller, country reps. for MCC, took us for kebabs at a restaurant near the big market and a walk through the market on our way to the Victoria Memorial. At dark, we attended a Sound and Light show there which gave a history of Kolkata. Then it was back to the wonderful comfort of the MCC guesthouse and a nearby hotel. |
