Today we have Valery Mbebou to teach us about ustainable fashion.
She said she used to make clothes to sell but when she went to Unversity she changed her mind she now teaches people sustainable fashion.

She also said she does cloth swapping. People bring what they dont wear anymore and exchange.
Because it takes 500years for a piece of cloth to get destroyed in the soil so to avoid throwing clothes away, she does swapping.

We will do the swapping here at SAWN and use the leftovers to use for our project.

Valery's goals are:

1.To educate people
2.To get people drink clean water because it takes 2700 littles of water and that contaminated water goes back to the source.
3.To get children lean about the furture
