Mujeres Unidas Visits Organic Products Fair

Mujeres Unidas had the opportunity to attend organic materials fair sponsored by the National Botanical Garden in Santo Domingo in April of 2015. Vendors at the fair showcased a variety of organic and recycled products. The fair was a chance for the members of Mujeres Unidas to network with other community organizations that work in the natural and organic products space. It was also a chance to gain ideas regarding how the organic fertilizer produced as a result of the community composting project in Los Platanitos could be marketed and sold more widely . The U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, James Brewster, also attended the fair, and members of Mujeres Unidas were able to take a picture with him.
