At our
stand we displayed some of the fibre research work from the joint
project MSIRI (Mauritius Sugar Industry Research Institute)/SPES under
the aegis of MRC (Mauritius Research Council).
For surprise findings on local fibre you have to wait for final report in a few months time... |

was another interesting April event the American Regional Trade Fair. |

 |
The US Ambassador had
kindly reserved a pavilion for Artistic products of High Quality and SPES
displayed some of their Designer Crafts.
It was great fun to see that almost every single visitor that went by touched our petit-point creole houses and also our colourful tapestries of Malcolm de Chazal who had studied Agriculture, at Baton Rouge in Louisiana and later became a philosopher, writer and painter with a vibrant Mauritian identity. |
