craft retailers including Al Ntamere of Unan imports in Chicago, who dons
his traditional Nigerian clothes, to meet them. |

Women's Associations craft projects in India, visits California and we arrange

Francisco to demonstrate their craft. Serife Atilhan and Cennet Deniri,
both in the book, join us for dinner with Turkish-American author Alev Lytle
Croutier (who leads Paola's San Francisco writer's group). |
