Today we watched another New Heroes segment. This one was about Maria Teresa Leal and the women of Coopa-Roca.Visit http://www.pbs.org/opb/thenewheroes/meet/leal.html
The business is a cooperative where women in Rio de Janeiro create fashion designs which Leal sells to high fashion distributors in Brazil and beyond for these women who have found a way to hold family together and create a better life for themselves through this business opportunity which in some cases passes from mother to daughter.
Anyone who is in the class or was enrolled this semester can come. If anyone wants to bring a guest and has not let me know, please so so now. I have to get numbers into the event planner at the restaurant.
