Our mothers and grandmothers
are the main sources of traditional
knowledge passed from generation
to generation. They play a vital role
to preserve and promote our rich
cultural heritage, which is our main
livelihood. Our mothers are our first
teachers and we learn everything
essential to live our life as good
human beings from them.
