Through small felt-making co-operatives, nomadic women in Mongolia's Gobi desert are finding a means to economic security and cultural survival for themselves and future generations. Vanessa Hammond has spent four month-long assignments in Mongolia helping to provide development and marketing assistance to women's co-operatives on behalf of the Co-operative Development Foundation. Vanessa will share her knowledge of the development and operating of these co-ops, and her stories and slides of the wonderful people and stunning landscape of this high desert and mountainous central Asian republic.
