Aysha

Aysha is a 42 years old Jordanian. She is married with 5 children (4 girls, 1 boy), ages 9 to 21. One daughter is married and she has one grandaughter.

Aysha's husband had cancer and she wanted to work to help her family. When she learned about Green Creations, she liked the idea of making things from newspapers and magazines. She even makes some baskets at home for her own use now.

In general, in this culture, women do not have many opportunities to get out of the house, to learn new things, or to interact with people outside of their own family circle. Coming to Green Creations has made Aysha's life happier and socially and emotionally healthier. When she has difficulties in her life, she knows she can come to work and share her burdens with her friends.
