Setting the Scene'gal
After two trips to the country and recent plans to move there, traveler Kirsty sets the Scene’gal for you…
“Senegal is my favourite place on earth. Not just because that's where I met some of my closest friends and my future husband! The people are so kind and full of hospitality. There is so much history there, and so many things to see and do. The [capital] city is huge but it doesn't feel rushed or impersonal, and the smaller cities, towns, and villages are so full of character and beauty. Then of course you have the countryside, all the crops of fruits, vegetables, and nuts. The combination of all these things just makes it such a wonderful place and somewhere that I truly wish everyone would have the chance to experience!”
In hopes of spreading this love for Senegal, this Sene’gal brought back fabric to share a piece of the country with you too.
Here’s to finding your Scene'egal in the new year and to feeling good—because after all, it's Friday!

PS. Plus another fabric from a traveler looking for a change of Scene'gal too...

A Stand for the Land
The beauty of Nepal will take your breath away.
However, lack of proper waste management in Nepal is beginning to degrade some of that beauty. In many places, around 70% of waste is dumped in rivers or burned on the side of the road. This has contributed to pollution and disease in Nepal’s communities.
It is Taylor’s mission to change that.
Turkish Delight
The Middle East is known for its ancient history, vast deserts, and religious roots.
From being caught in the pyramid-dle of history in Cairo, to taking in the Israeli great views of Jerusalem, to resting on the Abu’ndant sands of Abu Dhabi.
Uganda Love This
It’s been 8 years since the idea for Taaluma Totes was born while on a life-changing trip to Uganda.
Since then, we’ve been able to fund 41 microloans for small business owners living in Uganda.
From Moses, a 24-year-old coffee farmer who used his loan to buy mulch.
