One day we met Hamid. He was sitting under a streetlamp working on a piece of furniture for the Marrakech souk. I asked him to make some chopping boards from leftover pieces he had. They sold quickly. I ordered 100 of them. He beamed. I exhibited them at Formex. Then an order came in for 1500 pieces. His life is suddenly dignified. He gets well paid for his work, has installed electricity in his workshop and is up and running.
A chopping board is a chopping board, but the story behind it changes people's lives.
