Spinner

I am 66 years old and I have 3 kids, two sons and a daughter. I am Lu Zong Wu Mo's younger sister.

I was 20+ years old when I learned to spin and weave. I learned from my mother-in-law. My daughter can spin but not weave. I like to spin but my feet hurt when I weave so I don't like it as much. 

I like working for TAHDA because I have to take care of my two grown sons. They both are mentally disabled so I can't go out and get other work, I have to be at home to care for them. This job fits well with my responsibilities here at home. 

I use the money I make from TAHDA to buy tsampa and yak butter, and also to give wedding and funeral gifts. 

I really like working! Working brings me a lot of joy.
