The best part of my parents’ visit was learning how to make batik with Chantal Donvide, the founder of Aklala Batik. We spent the day at her workshop in Kpalime, following each step of the process to make our own batik. Chantal, in addition to being a talented artisan, is also a social entrepreneur. She uses a portion of the proceeds from the sale of batik items to pay for girls’ school fees and to provide them with training in various income-generating activities.
