La IV Feria Comunitaria de EMPRENDE


There was a community fair in the central park of my community for all the small businesses involved with EMPRENDE this past weekend. There was food, music, dancing, and most importantly, all of my artisans selling their beautiful art together. It was a great community bonding event where everyone came together and had a really great time. The artisans were thrilled to receive their new business cards that we created together and they took great pride in handing them out. It was really great to see my work pay off and many people in the community commented, "que chulo, que bonitas son" (how cool, how beautiful they are!) It has inspired me to continue my work and spend more time in my community that I have become so deeply attached to. I can't wait until the association gets up and running and we can host our own Community Art Fair which would highlight just the artisans work. Everyone is very excited for that day.
