    I don't see how fashion can influence a nation, especially considering they need more than just fashion to get by in the world. There's more to life than this.

    "The outfits were designed by 25-year-old Adama Kai, whose Aschobi Designs label is the first western style imprint to set up in the country. Kai was born in New Jersey, moved to Sierra Leone at four, then later trained in New York and Paris. But she has now moved back to Sierra Leone and declared in a recent interview: "In the same way that Ralph Lauren stands for America, Chanel for France, and Versace for Italy, I want Aschobi to stand for African fashion." Prices range from $30 to $100." This is just one example where micro-finance can make a huge difference. Brava! Bringing expertise and energy back into one's home community, in order to turn that energy around and back out into the world for applause and recognition.
