“I had taken a loan from the government some three years before and started a centre at home to train women folk and for the last three years, I have trained dozens of girls who are earning their livelihood themselves,” she said.
“It took me months together to prepare this shawl and money does not matter whatever it will fetch as it is holy Quran written on it,” she added—(KNO)
