Our last visit to Ruth included us showing our venerable non-talent for sewing. This time around, Ruth gave us a much easier task: braiding doll hair. 
Clearly, we were both once partial Barbie princesses, so this was a fun and easy task. Ruth told us that she had been selling her dolls like hot cakes and was in the process of preparing a big order for an upcoming Craft Exposition to take place in Kigali in May. This is awesome visibility for her and the ladies she works with.
She also told us that the woman who had taught us last time was in Butare for two months with the Imbuto Foundation (Janet Kagame’s Initiative) teaching more women how to make dolls and other income generating skills. It was another day of mind blowing accomplishments for our ladies. We were also pretty excited to snag our own dolls [no photos though – they may or may not be presents for some of our readers ;-)].
