GUWAHATI: People displaced by the ethnic violence in Manipur are taking lessons on the art of crocheting amigurumi dolls for sustainable livelihood.
Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures.
The ‘1 Million Heroes’, a global, multi-platform entertainment brand dedicated to inspiring and instil confidence in a generation of children around the world, came up with this idea for sustainable livelihood for Manipur’s internally displaced persons, who are leading a cluttered existence in makeshift relief camps.
