Hi all, we are recruiting for Maymester 2019 - another learning experience in Ghana is always welcome!

Here are a few more items - the sun dresses were designed by Molly, the shirts by Gordon and the coat dress by Brittany. All of these products were made by Ginatu and made of African print fabric produced in Ghana.

Here are some of the products made in Ghana and designed by UGA Fashion students Sarah, Emily and Molly. The shorts set and ruffled dress can be purchased from Atomic in downtown Athens; the top and skirt from Community in downtown Athens.

Here are the 2016 tags for our Ghana products. Thank you Ginatu, Joanna, Gilda, and Jonathan for all your wonderful, talented work.

One of my favorite days in Ghana - visiting Ginatu and her sisters, Joanna and Gilda!

One of our two days at the Kumasi Children's Home.

Here is one of the days we spent at the Kumasi Children's Home - painting and refreshing murals and playing with children. I spent most of the day peeling oranges for some of the children - I guess that was a good task for "auntie." UGA students were excellent at painting and playing!

Here are photos of the day we visited Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology's fashion and fabric department. Dr. Frimpong gave us another excellent tour!

Well we have been back from out 3 weeks in for a month now and it is time for me to upload some photos. We spent a day with our favorite master dressmaker - Gina; the fashion merchandising majors discussed their designs with either Gina or Jonathan (he specializes in men's wear) and left the patternmaking and construction to their very capable hands. We are still waiting for some of the products and as soon as they arrive we will be posting more photos.
