first days of work

I started my internship yesterday at the Chol Chol Foundation. My brain is full with all the new information about how the organization operates, their philosophy of fair trade and the preservation of Mapuche culture. I love the location of the office - in the countryside with chickens running around. Today I accompanied two other volunteers to the town of Nueva Imperial where we met with one of the weavers to interview her about her life as a tejedora and her involvement with the foundation. The information from the interview will provide material for a grant that focuses on the creativity of rural women.
