Wayan Sukriyani painting a Traidcraft kite
Wayan Sukriyani, a member of the kite producer group, is 15 years old. Made Budiasa, leader of this group, explained that there are several teenagers working in his workshop, but this happens only after they have been to school. (They would work for three hours in the afternoon in his workshop). He is actually involved in a project supporting the local school and thinks it is very important for the young people to have the opportunity to learn a new skill.
