For the Marshallese people, the coconut tree called ni, is a staple of sustainability for life on the islands. Ni is used for food, oil, shelter, baskets, traditional medicine, cooking and decoration. Join the Wodde Jippel Group and learn about their culture, traditions and how to weave a beautiful floor mat called Jeinai.

This program is offered at a reduced rate because of the generous contribution of Mary Therese Perez Hattori.

Wodde Jippel Group  was founded in February of 2020 to help empower Marshallese women and their community by helping them navigate their daily lives in a new environment; providing support and assistance in accessing health care, education, food sustainability, community engagement, and to help share the legacy of their culture. Wodde Jippel and the Donkey Mill Art Center formed their collaboration in 2020 with a shared interest in promoting people's stories, art and culture.
