Indego Africa is proud to announce that its wine coasters and agaseke baskets were featured products at the 2008 Academy Awards. As part of its "Gifting for a Cause" promotion, VRI Entertainment included Indego Africa products in the gift bags given to celebrities at the pre-Oscar party suites. More than 70 celebrities took home a piece of Rwanda to display in their homes, such as April Scott from the hit show CSI: Miami (see right). Raye Mitchell, owner of VRI, noted that the gift suites are "exclusive and very selective" and Indego Africa's participation reflected their mission of "devis[ing] a gift that was trendsetting, philanthropic, multicultural and of personal interest to the celebrities." Indego Africa's "must-have" products certainly fit the bill. |
