Ernestina Oppong Asante presents this handcrafted dondo drum, its hourglass figure veiled in cords of fishermen's thread, strung tautly to tune the opposing goatskin drumheads. Various tribes in Ghana employ the dondo. It has an influential sound when accompanying other instruments because the hollow body of tweneboa wood resonates powerfully.
Ernestina supports and provides for her grandchildren's education.
The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.
