Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
I hope to educate Hmong youth about the knives to give them a greater appreciation for their culture.My project will be measured by the quantity and quality of knives I produce by the end of the grant period.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The goal was to make six Hmong traditional knives, using the proper materials. I also wanted to use the knives to share Hmong culture and how the knives have been used for survival from generation to generation. I am pleased to report that the proposed goals were accomplished.
