Question 1

What is the name of your company? What is the meaning behind it?

Accepted Answer

Our company’s name is Maila’ Ta Fan Daña, which means “come together” in CHamoru. Just as we students came together, we want to unite Guam’s community with our product and vision.

Question 2

How does your product tie in with your vision/mission?

Accepted Answer

We make the pet toys by hand. Tying them and bringing the shirt yarn together symbolizes our vision and name, to unify/come together as a people.

Question 3

How are you promoting sustainability?

Accepted Answer

With no cost whatsoever, we are recycling and reusing old t-shirts to make the toys. This is sustainable because the shirts are not going to waste and we make them ourselves, not from a big company or factory.

Question 4

What about those who do not have dogs? How are you connecting the community with those who like cats, no pets, etc?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are promoting dog toys, but the toys can be multi-functional as well. You could take apart the toy and use the yarn as a toy for your cat(s), a stress toy/fidget toy to take around with you if you are nervous.
