Mr. Koichi Obata, Ambassador of Japan, visited Bani Hamida village on
18 January and toured the Jordan River Foundations’ Bani Hamida
Women's weaving project, which the Embassy of Japan has, in March
2004, supported with a $50,000 grant to help finance the purchase of
essential equipment and machines.
Mr. Obata inspected the donated implements and applauded the lively
activities especially at the sites for carding and making candles.
The Ambassador also visited a house where a mother weaves traditional
rugs and listened to her explanation of weaving.
Village women, a representative from the Jordan River Foundation and
the Ambassador exchanged Views and discussion for further cooperation.
This grant was provided within the framework of the Japanese Grant
Assistance for Grassroots Projects (GAGP).
