Busega Scotland stalwart Ruth McIntosh has launched a ‘Bags for Busega’ project. Ruth has got together a group of skilled friends, who can turn cloth brought back from Africa into very attractive shopping bags. Ruth said that a Busega bag can be folded up and carried around in  a handbag, which is very convenient.

John and Christine brought the first cloth back from Mwanza and this has been added to by other supporters, who have visited Africa and even Tanzania itself. Their kindness is motivated by a wish to give something back to Africa.

The first Busega bag sale will be held later this month at a pop-up Traidcraft shop, hosted by Bellie Parish Church, High Street, Fochabers, Moray. Friday 31st March, 10.30 to 12.00 and 14.00 to 16.00.

Please attend the sale if you can. The bags are beautiful, unique and proceeds will support the children at Mayega Children’s Centre.

Many thanks to Ruth and her team.
