My favorite part of the Negev desert field trip we went on this past week was the visit we made to the village of Lakiya. We had a lesson from an elderly Bedouin women on the style of weaving that is unique to this area. Sidreh is a non-profit organization that aims to empower these desert women by allowing them to hold on to their traditions in a profitable manner that supports their independence.
I did not have my camera with me but you can check out the website Lakiya Weaving if you are interested in seeing the beautiful work these women do.
