| Dear Keith,
Our New Shipment of Driftwood figures from Mozambique and Shona Sculptures from Zimbabwe will be arriving shortly. We are also expecting a new shipment of Zulu Telephone Wire Baskets, South African Pottery and Ngwenya Glass sometime towards the end of this month and will let you know as soon as they arrive.
Since all of these shipments will be arriving around the same time, we are going to have to make room for them. So we will be having a BIG SALE very soon!

A survey of 1,829 people, in December 2003, revealed that 51.2% of the target population of the Samburu people in northern Kenya had trachoma. 42.8% of children under the age of nine had been repeatedly re-infected by chlamydia trachomatis, and were suffering from chronic inflammation of the eyelid (active trachoma). This inflammation leads to scarring under the eyelid. 78.9% of adults over 30 were either blind, or in danger of becoming blind, as this scarring had caused the eyelashes to turn in and rub against the front of the eye (Lpapit Longonyek: eye lashes in the eyes). The World Health Organisation states that a prevalence of active trachoma in children under 9 years of over 20% and a prevalence of cicatricial trachoma in adults over 30 years of over 30% constitutes a serious public health problem.
The problems associated with trachoma are many, and dire; and the treatment is simple, cheap and produces immediate results. Such a small amount of money and effort for such large gain. Learn more... |
