TRAID Trip to India…
Late last year I was lucky enough to visit India with the charity TRAID and Ms. Erin O’Connor. She was visiting women working in the textile industry who have massively benefited from work done by TRAID (Textile Recycling for Aid & International Development). Their clothing recycling banks and second-hand shops here in the UK fund projects that ensure fair wages for women working out there who are using traditional embroidery techniques on pieces that end up selling for a pittance on the high street here.
