Johanna Breese, a Graduate Student from Carnegie Mellon, Connected with the Culture

Johanna Breese, a graduate student from Carnegie Mellon, connected with the culture of Madagascar when she created lamba hoany (a native garment) with artful messages to save the more than 150 rare species of animals that inhabit Madagascar. In contrast to many Americans trying to do business abroad, Johanna successfully adapted her message to the native culture when she imprinted it on the native garment.
