"Aprendí a coser viendo a mi abuela desde muy chica. Después de muchos años que deje de estudiar [costura] tuve la oportunidad de entrar a trabajar con Huaywasi y es así que aprendí más y sigo aprendiendo de cada voluntario que viene--por eso que hoy en día me siento muy feliz de pertenecer a Huaywasi."

I learned to sew seeing my grandmother from a very young age. After many years I stopped studying [sewing] I had the opportunity to work with Huaywasi and so I learned more and I continue to learn from every volunteer who comes--that is why today I feel very happy to belong to Huaywasi.

I am a technical professional but I left to educate my daughters. Thankfully I found this NGO [LLI] which gave me the opportunity to be part of it when I attended their workshops, which were very beneficial to me.
