RWANDA WOODCARVERS |
|---|
Rwanda, a small country in Central Africa is mainly mountainous with rich tropical forests. The woodcarvers belong to the Hutu and Tutsi tribes. They have a cooperative of young artists who have been carving wood figures under the direction of their elders. Selling the wood carvings is a way of helping young artists in the cooperative. The Saint Katharine Drexel Mission Gift Shop is able to purchase the wood carvings from the religious of the Assumption. |
