We meet different people through the internet. And I am not talking about the social network that’s available galore!
Recently when I wanted for CUDP (Recycled Paper Project) to find ways to increase their range of products, I ended up finding Jenny in Bangaluru (Which is in South India) on the internet. I was so taken away with her website (www.jennypinto.com) and their range of products that I asked if she could develop some designs for CUDP which she readily agreed. She knew about Tibetan cause and a supporter too which also proved helpful.
We also came to know that we need to develop the paper quality in order to boost more markets both domestic and international. Even though there has been no question regarding CUDP artisans’ efficiency in their work or product quality; it’s not very often that they are exposed to other market places or trainings.
CUDP being one of our suppliers, our responsibility is to provide assistance in finding organizations or institutions providing training to improve paper quality. So, it’s still on the cards. Jenny is also providing us suggestions. We will see what’s the best option and how and in what ways CUDP can contribute in terms of resources - human and monetary. Because at times, it is always preferable to have producer organization be responsible and accountable.
