Gisenyi Day 3 : Tye and Dye

When we said these ladies had a factory we weren’t kidding. But this time, we came to shop! We did some of our own patterns (and by ‘our own’ we clearly mean they showed us what to do and we did it!) and then they let us help with the dying. It was fun visiting with the ladies and then they made us an amazing lunch of sweet potatoes! Check out below the step-by-step process we went through with them to make some beautiful tye-dye cloths.






Sidenote: we met the coolest little girl in the world – Baby (her nickname… still not sure of her first name). She loved RA1s sunglasses and spent most of the day not taking them up and making RA2 flip her upside down.
