Monia Florentine of Mo's Dream Creation has developed a new line of Creole dolls with a twist - using recyclable materials - which she said is aimed at reviving the dying tradition of locally made dolls. (Monia Florentine)

(Seychelles News Agency) - In days gone by most Seychellois children, well, most girls, owned a rag doll.
