Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This project will expose the local community to the craft of Hmong basket making and will be a learning tool for our children and help to keep our heritage. It will also help to bring hope to our elders by showing them that we can keep our traditions alive and provide a sense of hope, security and peace.The success of my project will be measured by the number and quality of baskets created. For this project, I plan to complete two baskets (one large and one small).
Measurable Outcome(s)
The process of making Hmong traditional baskets takes time, patience, and skills. I planned what I would be doing each week and put in two to four hours a day until the baskets were completed.
