Handicrafts
As a community development volunteer, your task is essentially to find where you’re interest curve intersects with the local need curve, and then do as much work as you can.
As Sunny Naryn and I are getting to know each other, a massive point of interestion is proving to be the handicraft industry. I’m trying to get a handle on all the folks can produce, and from there, see who we can get to buy it: domestic, abroad, whatever’s clever.
That being said, the products presented here are available for distribution in the United States and other countries abroad. If you are reading this, and find yourself recognizing that you’d like to purchase some of the crafts shown here, retail or wholesale, please contact me at KyrgyCarl@gmail.com and I’ll show you what we can do.
See here all that I’ve found.

Just showed the pics to a friend here at work. The laptop bag and slippers are a HIT!
