Bryan, let's talk via e-mail at least until 15 Nov. 06 when I'm supposed to return to S.C. till early January 07. We are making a huge effort to make Sant Art ak Kouti profitable, still using donated goods and some 20 women and 2 men with varying abilities. At present, our payroll runs to more or less $24,000. per year, and we've been making only around $6000., subsidized by Partners in Health. I don't want this to continue. We are exploring not just textiles and sewing, but also weaving, banana bark, pottery, wrought iron, painting, etc. Going is slow but still going.I'm actively seeking a committed partner stateside to do marketing and to guide us into what products are the most saleable. Right now we're trying to build up products that have done well in the past in order to begin a web site. The Route National #3 is indeed better from PaP to Mirebalais. I understand the kidnapping sitiuation will have to stop before any foreign company takes on the road to Hinche and on to Cap Haitian.Mwen rete kenbe! Jackie Williams
