Volunteer Placement |
Volunteer for the Lady Volta Bead Project:
Jewellery Designer
VEG is looking for an individual with an interest in jewellery design to support the Lady Volta Beads Project.
Using locally recycled materials and various beads produced by artisans around Africa, the Lady Volta Beads Project, initiated in May 2007, supports alternative livelihoods amongst young women. The young women currently producing the jewelery require training in new techniques and general support for the production of new designs.
The volunteer will be required to provide interactive jewellery designing classes to our group of young women, with a focus on the export market. |
