Introduction
The indigenous people in Bangladesh are fond of ornaments of silver and beads.
Ivory and bone of animals are also used as jewels.
Khumi and Mro women ornately arrange their hair with flower,
ear with silver, neck with beads!
These beaded ornaments are called 'Kengbow', 'Lengke',
'Kengka', 'Kappier', 'Kengsing', 'Ken-ankei pay' in Mro,
'Sailiafai' in Khumi.
When these crafts is introduced to everyone all over the world by us (ChotoBela)
as fair-trade products and fund-raising for them,
we call it "KINITHEU", the same with school name that we are supporting here.
The makers of "KINITHEU"
1, Kinitheu students 2, Moanoghar students 3, Local women
of Khumi and Mro community.
They had originally made the traditional ornament
for only their family.
The tradition and culture is not changing, just expanding a family circle/consciousness to abroad... We believe so.

A memory at Drawing time
Some children are good at drawing, and some draw a blank...
A child was shedding tears because he couldn't imagin anything
he wanted to draw.
Our member suggested drawing just an egg...
He tried drawing it, then got happy and drew one more egg!!
When we assist them just a little, they can try everything new and get happy.
Now, all of Kinitheu children like drawing time.
We remake their drawing to Postcard
and sell to raise fund for their education fee.
