Master embroiderer Hafiza Malikbaba has spent her life in eastern Afghanistan; she spent this summer in Warner, NH. Next week, as she prepares to return to her home and her work, Hafiza will present a public program in the Ballroom, talking about life in her native country and about her efforts as assistant director of Rubia, the Afghan Women's Handwork Project, a nonprofit organization serving rural Afghan women and children through training, education, and promotion of their traditional handwork. The program is sponsored by the Centurions of the Friends.
