Women Are Incredible

We were able to go to a Bedouin weaving center.  These are women who weave various things to make a living for themselves.  They are amazing individuals who fight for women rights. They began to weave so they could support themselves and their families.   A woman, who was probably in her twenties, was explaining how they started making their own newspapers because some people did not like to see pictures of women in the newspapers.  However, they know that women deserve respect and a chance in life.  These are amazing women who are smart and strong. “We believe that one woman should not change the world, but that we should all do it together.” This was my favorite statement from the trip. I completely agree with it.   

This is the weaving process.  They make the yarn(through various steps), die it, and finally weave it!
