IOHS welcomes Gifty-Serbeh Dunn today to kick off International Development Week. Gifty is the founder of Shea Butter Market and a board member at Partners for Prosperity, a Shawnigan Lake-based International NGO. Shea Butter Market purchases shea butter from a widows collective in Tapko, Ghana and creates products with it here in Canada. The widows are paid fairly and also recieve 2% of net proceeds.Gifty will be talking to the students about International Development, grassroot initiatives, and sustainable development. She’ll address what works, what doesn’t,and what we can do better. We thank Gifty and the BC Council for International Cooperation for their support.
