New Year Resolutions


Like people all over the world, the artisans in India took a few minutes to come up with their own New Year's Resolutions. Wanting to start the new year - and the new decade - off right, they reflected on their lives and came up with some specific goals and hopes.

Their resolutions reflect their desire to be strong, plan better, save for a better life and take time for themselves. Looking at these resolutions, one can see echoes of the dreams of women everywhere.

Deepika Surti - WARE Collective. I am always doing things for my family. Children and work. In the New Year, I will keep 15 minutes everyday for myself.
