So as we continue to drive, I ask Stuart how many women work for him. I was astounded by the fact that he can only keep about 20% working continuously based on the fact that there aren't as many retailers who don't outsource their work overseas. Not only is sustainable work needed, but he also spoke about his collaboration with a non-profit to help educate the women and their children. Stuart also gives me a little insight on Rugaya, who she is. Click to hear audio clip (4 1/2 minutes).
This next clip is only 2 1/2 minutes but it's Stuart and Conway narrating what I see as we are driving through Delft and finally arrive at Rugaya's home. It was very interesting to see the town (left pic), shopping off the street. Many taxis I saw, which makes sense since many don't have cars to be able to get to work. The plain looking schools which have nothing more than the building itself. Finally, we arrive at Rugaya's home and this is what her street looks like (right pic).
