| Learning how to tie the knots. Many of these women work for hours each day on the same rug for months until it's done. This particular woman said she has lots of neck and upper back pain. It's tedious work. |

Group from the States came out to help with the start-up of sozo ministry in our city. We took a couple of days to see some of this ancient land. Everything was so green after the winter rains! |
