"Trying to revive and continue a fast-fading craft is a solitary endeavor shared by a few passionate people. Sometimes this is not enough o stop the death of certain crafts as these are based on community bonding and self-expression, which in this fast-changing world have become almost non-existent. Habi is a wonderful effort to keep weaving crafts alive in the finds of people and inspire their continuation. Bravo!" - Patis Tesoro
