Summary
This first chapter of my project illustrates struggles and stories of a family toy-makes. Every member of the family is unique and brings individual beauty of her/his own. They tell stories from childhood, the reasons behind their migration to Lahore, their street stories, their life struggles and most importantly their craft of toy-making and relationship to this craft. I have divided this chapter in a chronological order to my visits and time I spent with every individual. The order is as:
1. Ameer Khan (Householder)
2. Khatoon Bibi (Wife of Ameer)
3. Sakhi Muhammad (Younger brother of Ameer)
