Take one of the most beautiful and tranquil places in Lusaka with art works, artifacts, jewellery and a Cafe and add 18 DISA members, and what do you get - a Coffee Morning with a difference!
The visit started with Curator Tukiya Fundafunda giving us a short overview of the work of the 37d Gallery and the START Foundation. After that Gloria presented the crafts section with artifacts from several African countries, and lastly in Jagoda Gems Mena told us about the different gemstones used in their jewellery.
We ended our visit in the Cafe enjoying coffees and teas, and saying our thanks and farewells to three active DISA members: Hiroko Sasaki (moving back home to Japan), Sally Abdrabou (moving back home to Egypt) and Barbara Harvey (from UK, but heading for Myanmar).
Safe travels, friends, we'll miss you!
