This past April 2009 Indego Africa was honored to host four passionate supporters from Baton Rouge, Louisiana in Rwanda. The volunteers - Cynthia, Nikki, Drew, and Michelle - hit the ground running and didn't look back. They taught the women stretching techniques to prevent repetitive stress injuries; conducted english vocabulary sessions; spent one-on-one time recording the women's stories (Nikki, right); and received rave reviews for the premiere of their playful skit, "Path of the Products," which demonstrates how Indego Africa products make their way from Cocoki's workshop into your home.
"Seeing the faces of the women at Cocoki and Covanya light up with curiosity and laughter was so rewarding," said Nikki. "It was an educational, humbling, and delightful encounter that has enriched my life."
Cynthia agreed: "Over the past 2 years I have read about Indego from the website, personally ordered products from my home in Louisiana, heard about the program from my husband who is a board member, and shared with others about the women, the products and the cause. Now I can say that I have met and shared life with these incredible women who have been through so much adversity, yet work with pride and persistence for the sake of their families."

Educating the women about global commerce is one of Indego Africa's highest priorities, and it always makes everyone smile. To learn more about Cocoki's first interaction with the Indego Africa website, CLICK HERE.
