Two years ago, just after the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Amrita Routche, 37, found the perfect opportunity to start a business, making concrete garden figurines and planters, which she experiences a great demand for at Christmastime.
Amrita, a mother of two girls, who hails from Herstelling, East Bank Demerara (EBD), has always been very good with her hands, but it was the first time she delved into such a venture.
Even though she has to work extra hard during this season to fulfil her orders, she does not find it burdensome, as she enjoys creating the unique designs. She also offers discounts to her customers during the holidays.
