[Active Citizen Summit 2012 update] The fruits of her labor

10-01-2013 posted by Acypl

We just heard from the US Embassy in Kuwait, that one of the participants from the Active Citizen Summit 2012, Budour al-Qassar, is launching the first farmer’s market in Kuwait starting in November.  This was a plan that Budour had proposed at the Summit last October, and we are thrilled that we were able to provide her with a small grant to see it come to fruit-ion (ha).

It’s called Qout Market, and you can follow her progress on Twitter and Instagram.
