A BEAUTIFUL TALENT OF THE WOMEN

           THE TALENT OF WEAVING ON HOME MADE                       IS TAUGHT FROM MOTHER TO DAUGHTER. 
           MANY OF THEM HAVE NEVER GONE TO 
           SCHOOL.  MOTHER TEACES DAUGHTER!
           MANY ARE FOR THEIR OWN WEAR BUT
           THERE ARE SOME WOMEN WHO SELL THEM
            IN THE TOWN MARKETS  IN THIS TOWN
            MARKET DAY IS SUNDAY, AND HUNDREDS CAN                BE FOUND.  THEY SELL THEM FOR MUCH LESS                THAN THEIR WORTH. 

             AT OUR RECENT  CHRISTMAS PARTY, A 
             MOTHER HOLDING HER INFANT HAD ONE 
             OF THE MORE GORGEOUS BLOUSES I HAVE
             SEEN.  I NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
             ASK HER WHAT VILLAGE SHE WAS FROM.
             THE IMAGE OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
              IS PRICELESS.  I WANT TO SHARE THIS 
              BEAUTUL WOVEN BLOUSE.  MOTHERS 
              TEACH THEIR DAUGHTERS TO WEAVE SO

               THERE IS NO SCHOOL FOR LEARNING.
               MANY OF THESE WOMEN WOULD NEVER 
               HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY OF
               A FORMAL EDUCATION.  THE POOR HAVE
               TO TEACH US!
