Bamboo Weaving That Brought the Village Hall Back to Life

Bamboo grows abundantly around the village but is rarely turned into anything of value. A BWKS Kriya alumni saw an opportunity there.

Those woven goods are now consigned to souvenir shops, adding income while reviving a village hall that had gone quiet.
