Foster's Daily Democrat describes the launching of the Opening World Series in Dover as being led by Erin Kennedy, the founder of HopeCraft (www.hopecraft.org).

Ms. Kennedy works in the US in an administrative capacity for Nyumbani, KenyaÔÇÖs first facility for HIV positive abandoned children. While visiting Nyambani and its community outreach program in the slums of Nairobi, the need for income generating projects quickly became apparent. Ms. Kennedy founded HopeCraft in May 2006 with the help of five Seacoast NH women. Using fair trade standards and micro-credit lending, HopeCraft is helping these poor women help themselves.
