Sünopsis

Estonian activists, businesswomen and volunteers decided to support one village in Northern Ghana while bringing together the handicraft skills of Ghanaians, enterprisingness of Estonians and Western market.
So it turned out that the baskets woven by Ghanaian village women would sell in Estonia and the butter produced from shea nut, also called the gold of African women, growing in African savannas would find buyers in USA. It depends on the continuity of the volunteers as well as the local villagers' contribution to the world of business whether the activities started in a small Ghanaian village would thrive and thus offer considerable source of income for local people.
