Re: Working women of Pakistan
If I try to think of the strongest women I've seen in Pakistan :
My aunt - okay nepotism speaking here, but really, she's good - runs an arts school for girls of all ages - school is in a low-lying area, and they teach cooking, sewing, embroidery, fashion design, cut-work, mehndi-application, and other fine arts/crafts. The girls pay a low fee, or no fee if they can't afford, and it empowers them to make money for their family. The girls end up doing catering, and making shaadi ke joray, and fancy clothes, etc for people all over khi.
J : One of the Teachers at this school. She started off as a student herself I think. They had trouble finding a rishtaa for her, so she worked at the school - financially supports her whole family - she is the NICEST lady I've ever met and the most patient - she came up to be a teacher from nothing. You would never think she was born into a poor household. She's got that much class.
