Pardon my selfies... can't resist to try the Saori handweaving crafts of the students of St. Francis School-VSA Arts Philippines.
Saori is Japanese word for weaving. It propagates handweaving as therapeutic activity for children with disabilities.
You wouldn't believe the crafts to be made by these kids until you see them weaving by themselves!
Coming soon at St. Francis School is Saori Urban Handweaving Center in partnership with Saori Japan and DOST NCR PTRI
