She said: “We used to attend in wedding ceremonies in the village. I learnt how to play sipsi there when I was 7 years old. We used to make fire and dance while playing sipsi. We had no other joy except for these. We also used to work in plateaus. How could you spend time there? I want young people learn how to play and make sipsi. I’m ready to teach”.
