Meet the Weaver
Name: Aybeniz Qayebova
Age: 58 (born 1962)
Children: None
Village: Kosalar, Republic of Georgia
Aybeniz was born in Kosalar, Georgia the second youngest of six children. She has three sisters and two brothers. Aybeeniz learned to weave from her mother when she was very young. Over the years her parents passed away and all of her siblings moved away either for marriage or work. Aybeniz, alone of her five siblings remained in Kosalar. I first met her a few months ago and the first thing that struck me was her ready smile and her kind heart. It is difficult to be unmarried without children in such a traditional culture. The majority of a woman’s worth in old-world cultures comes from her family unity. Often woman who never married are seen as outsiders and cursed. It is our privilege to give this beautiful person a family to belong to and a worthwhile purpose to be devoted to.
