**finding volume buyer for Himalayan Rugs**

Connecting global markets with isolated Himalayan communities is the most rewarding work.

This radi, a traditional rug, originates in the Helambu region. Woven from the wool of mountain sheep, these authentic, handmade rugs are not only high-quality and uniquely designed, but they also represent the cultural heritage of Hem Gurung (name changed) and his family and community.

This family is among the few remaining who have maintained their weaving traditions, managing to sustain themselves through this demanding craft.

Hem Gurung's commitment to preserving this art for future generations is truly commendable, especially considering the labor-intensive and time-consuming process. Each rug stands as a confirmation to the skill and patience inherent in traditional handcrafting.

Exporting these rugs to China was beyond his wildest dreams. Today, the first sample shipment, carefully loaded into the courier van, marks a momentous new beginning. While this is a small initial order, it represents a significant step forward.

This opportunity arose from the interest of Wang, a high-volume buyer from China, and we are immensely grateful for his support.

This new venture is a source of profound joy and deep emotion for everyone involved.
