Lumela ‘Me! As the newest member of The G.R.O. Foundation Lesotho you have the honour of our second Q&A. This is something new we’ve just started doing so all of the G.R.O. supporters can get a better grasp of what it is we’re doing on the ground in Lesotho. Again, you’re the new G.R.O. Artisans Collective Coordinator so on behalf of G.R.O. Canada and G.R.O. USA please let me welcome you to the team!

1) What are your goals for the GAC over the next few months?

As the Collective Coordinator I am hoping to increase the number of retail locations, both nationally and internationally, stocking the Artisans jewelry. Also, we want to expand our customer base with new sales initiatives and focus on national marketing and publicity.

2) What are you working on today?

Today, I visited a local retailer, with Bo ‘Me, to restock their display and collect payments. A bit later I have to reconciling cash records and run a meeting to review the process of quality control as well as roles and responsibilities for doing so amongst the Collective members.

Having the job of Collective Coordinator means a lot to me. Community development is something I am passionate about it - I believe in the purpose for the G.R.O. projects and that’s why I am involved. Non-profit management is what I  studied and majored in. I am definitely excited to be able to return to Lesotho work with G.R.O. Lesotho knowing that I’m giving back to my own community. So i’m very excited and looking forward to more growth and successes.
