Plum and Sparrow: Handwoven moses baskets

I am totally head over heels in love with these handwoven baskets by Plum and Sparrow.

Ultimately, 10% of all baskets sold help support over 400 African weavers and their families providing them with school supplies, healthcare and the funding and building of community weaving centers.

My first blog post for TEDxNicosia / On education

I am a huge fan of TED talks. A motivating talk on a topic I am passionate about can be a great source of inspiration to me.

These independently organised TED events have been taking place in Nicosia since 2011 and have covered some amazing areas and brought forward leading thinkers prepared to make a difference in our society.
