quiditmieux+songhai=activism!!!

today at porto novo (the capital, smaller than cotonou)

QUIDITMIEUX - about 20 women making theatre, sensizing other women, trying to educate through theatre. in 1997, partly by accident, they started to produce things made of plastic bags (it's huge problem in benin. they are everywhere...). they collected the bags in the streets, washed them, cut them into stripes and used as a thread to produce bags, hats, dolls, even clothing. they received quite a few prizes and grants. they still work and make theatre

SONGHAI - a huge farm in porto novo. they do everything... /to be continued - got to go... tomorrow it's the farm:))))/
