About our Artist: "I'm Hannah Dodoo. I was born in central Ghana in 1949 and did schooling in a Catholic s' school. I lost my father who left behind six of us in care of our mother. She managed to take me through my schooling to the polytechnical school where I did a secretarial course. I joined an international banking firm in 1966 where I met a young man with whom I got married after moving to Germany. We decided that I should do a course on apparel manufacturing in one of the fashion houses in Germany. I returned home in 1979 and have been able to sustain my fashion work with orders coming from US, Europe, etc. I have held several fashion shows and have participated in national trade fairs. I train s who are eager to learn a trade for their living and also employ workers. Presently, I am the chairperson of the Progression of Women Credit Union, where we take care of women's needs. I also do handicrafts, home furnishing and have gone through a series of workshops and seminars on record-keeping and business management."...
