    Another Ama Ghar Recycling First!

    July 2, 2013

    The monsoon season has arrived, and with the rainy season comes the never-ending quest to keep our umbrellas in working order.  No matter how hard we try, umbrellas just don’t last around here, and it seems like a waste to throw them away.

    The latest in Ama Ghar fashion - the recycled umbrella skirt!

    So Uma had a brainstorm: the waterproof material for the umbrellas makes colorful dance skirts for the little ones – and they twirl so nicely!  The umbrella skirt is now the preferred outfit for the little girls after they change out of their school uniforms.
