A new shop

We visited Bpeace associate Nasima's new shop near Chicken Street, a large, popular shopping area in Kabul. Her silk scarves and beautifully dressed mannequins invite onlookers to see what's inside. All the designs are Nasima's creation and she then works with many ladies to create the completed product. She has a wonderful eye for fashion and Debbie shared many samples, magazines, and ideas. With each new piece Nasima lit up and you could see her creative juices flowing. Susanne, again, played model for sizing and fit. Her favorite gift we brought her was the much needed chalk pencil.
