I've been asked by my friend Akua to pass on information about the <br/>MADE
IN AFRIKAH EXHIBITION 2010 which is due to to be held in Cape Coast<br />
Ghana 15th-21st September 2010.<br/><p>From the organisers website:<br/></p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">We are looking for groups from all over the world to attend this exhibition. This is the platform for Africa /
Caribbean Diaspora to<br />
unite with economics and progression in mind.</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">We are providing a platform for skills exchange and business with people on the continent
of Africa. We are working with the people at the grass root of the<br/>
magnificent continent of Africa to bring forth the opportunity to invest<br/>
in small to medium scale businesses.</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">We welcome speakers and exhibitors and visitors from everywhere. Our goal is to provide a
vehicle to investment on a scale that means that things actually get<br/>
done because organizations and groups will become aware of each other<br/>
and join forces with a common goal in mind. To rebuild, resettle and<br/>
re-establish Magnificent Africa.</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">Below are some of the criteria that need to be met. Your establishment should meet at least one of these, but we
do hope that you<br />
will match more, especially the last one:</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">1 Products and services should contain African/ Caribbean Products</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">2 Products and services be made in Africa/ Caribbean or the Diaspora</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">3 Proposal should have the development of Africa/Caribbean Diaspora in
mind</p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">4 Your establishment should be African/ Caribbean focused and works towards the growth and
education of<br />
the African/ Caribbean Diaspora culturally, spiritually, traditionally<br/>
and economically. </p>
<p style="font-style: italic;">5 Your establishment is of the mindset for progression and forward motion with an open mind to
communicate with like minded establishments with trust and unity as<br/>
paramount.</p>

Hi All,<br />
<br />
<br />
In Andorra, there is very little representation of African fashion and African products. It is an untapped market. I would like to help change that. I am trying to organize a "Meet Africa" event, projected for August 2010<br />
(tentatively to last two weeks), to feature haute couture fashion and products designed and produced by Africans, in the following categories:<br />

-Africa Retail: clothes, shoes, baby clothes, etc.<br />

Hi All,<br />

<br />
In Andorra, there is very little representation of African fashion and African products. It is an untapped market. I would like to help change that. I am trying to organize a "Meet Africa" event, projected for August 2010<br />
(tentatively to last two weeks), to feature haute couture fashion and products designed and produced by Africans, in the following categories:<br />
<br />
-Africa Retail: clothes, shoes, baby clothes, etc.<br />
-Africa Couture and haute couture: couture fashion and traditional wear<br />
-Africa Music and Dance<br />
-Africa Informative: books,magazines,other printed materials<br />
showcasing the best of Africa<br />
-Africa Art and Artisan<br />
-Africa Media<br />
<br />
So far, I have the support of the Local Govt and others here in Andorra who are willing to host and promote the event and am currently looking for people in the above categories committed enough to help make this project a reality. The event would represent excellent exposure, contacts and opportunities for producers and designers, and if successful would become a yearly event.<br />
<br />
If this is something you would be interested in, please send me a message on this forum.<br />
Best regards,<br />

<b>* So do you like fashion? Would you like the opportunity to show off your designs and create your own clothing range?<br />
<br />
* Are you an artist who puts a pencil to pad or paint to canvass and can really make an inspirational & expressive piece?</b><br />

If interested please contact myself through this site and I will mail you back with more info. But I believe it will be a great opportunity for you to present your business, gain new customers, and to help promote Africa and the people there.<br />
<br />
I look forward to your responses!<br />
