'We may be familiar because of the men carvers, however the almost 90 percent of the women carve. I learn when I was a child, along with my two brothers. When I married my husband asked me to quit my job and take care of our children. However, stopping my activities to stay home was driving me crazy! For that reason I started to do some carvings at home, and eventually opened a small workshop near my house.'
