My name is Rashida Bazzi, I am 43 years old and single. I did not learn to read and write. I’ve worked in the cooperative for 6 years. I learned the craft of rugs from my mother. My idea was to get in a cooperative in order to help my family financially. I consider making rugs an art and I developed my style over the years and hope to help my cooperative to reach success.
