Last week there was a lot of work to do. In between visiting all my artesanos and collecting more data from my investigation, I got to spend time in some families houses and one wouldn´t let me leave until I was fed lunch until I couldn´t eat any more. The care and generosity of my community is overwhelming. Many artesanos have gifted me necklaces, intricately painted bottles of wine, seashell keychains, paintings made out of the plantain leaves, etc.
My weekend was spent swimming (i won two metals and two buttons... lol ive never received a button before :) and working. I had a meeting with all of my artisanos para definir los estatutos (to define the bylaws) of the association. It appears that it is actually going to work and the association is going to be formed. All we have to do now is pick a date to elect the assembly (the president, vocals, treasurer, etc) I was very excited after the past meetings had very few people show up even though everyone told me they would be there. But it seems like things are turning around and are actually going to work out, which is really exciting after all the work I have done! I am currently creating business cards for all the artesanos that don´t have them and getting ready for a community fair EMPRENDE is putting on this coming Sunday. Well its off to class now then work some more..
