Products, Retail and Customers--Kabul Style

Suria, the baby hat and Toni.

The team disbursed today to their various projects.

Toni and Laila happily delivered a purchase order for 30 hand-knit baby hats from Sons & Daughters, a children's boutique in New York City. Suria's mentors Ellen Lubin-Sherman and Laura Bradford sent along instructions, yarn, and a cash deposit from Sons & Daughters. Suria committed to the June 1 deadline and felt confident that more orders would follow once she successfully delivered. Then, with a discussion guide provided by Ellen and Laura, Toni had a brand-development session with Suria so that Ellen and Laura can develop a logo and clothing tags for Suria's business.

Toni left Suria in Paula's good hands to meet up with the rest of the team. Paula was conducting an audio interview with Suria for a multi-media piece she is developing. Later in the day, Paula also interviewed Nasima for the same project.

Comments:
It's great to see Suria's laughing face. Kudos to Ellen and Laura for their "mentoring" prowess! Toni, can you find out how Suria's daughter is doing and give us an update?
 
Steve,

Toni and I both spent time with Suraia (new way she's decided to spell her name) yesterday. Her daughter Deeba is much better, I will tell Suraia you asked about her.

Paula
 
Nice work Toni & Ray! Good luck with your mission.
 
I'm thrilled that Suraia is jazzed about the order from "Sons and Daughters." And I'm totally with her on the name change...I've been toying with Elle myself.

Love to you all,
Ellen (oops, Elle) Lubin-SHerman
