It has been very beneficial for me working under the Livelihood Initiative of the Jungwa Foundation. The one thing that I am really proud of is that now I can purchase a cooking gas cylinder for the family from the money I earned. Working here also helped me polish my weaving skills. I had forgotten many of our motifs but when I started to weave again, I learnt to weave many new motifs and also the old ones from the women folk of my village in Changthang. Now that I have a source of income, it has surely motivated me to hold on to our traditional pastoral livelihood and also teach them to our children and grandchildren.
