Sarmila

Meet our wonderful Sarmila Bhele.  Sarmila keeps us all straight at our new workshops in the ancient city of Bhaktapur.  Bhaktapur is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is about 8 miles east of Kathmandu in Nepal.  Sarmila is the leader of a group of about 25 knitters who live in the area and work from home and our new workshops.

Sarmila is 31 years old and is married to Rameshowar and they have an 11 year old son called Aayan.  Rameshowar is the owner operator of his own bus in and around Kathmandu.  Black Yak pays for Aayan’s schooling in a local school.  
We could not operate our new workshop without Sarmila.  She goes through the orders that we send over and distributes them, with wool and knitting instructions, to our knitters.  She then performs magic and collects all the knitting back in and somehow manages to get it all back to our main unit for sorting, checking and finishing.
