This afternoon we had the twice weekly talleres for mothers in the community up in Pumamarca. This group has grown from less than 10 persons to more than 100 persons in less than a year. The growth is the reason why we are painting the new building for them. We arrived at school with less than 5 mothers sitting outside the classroom waiting. In less than 5 mins, tens of people flooded into the school and started queueing outside the classroom. They are waiting in line to receive raw materials for knitting and making friendship bands. Many of the mothers bring their children with them. Some of the school kids get materials to make friendship bands too. We were making bags, cards and jewelries in the classroom with some other ladies, while the rest of the mothers spread themselves out in the school field and started on their masterpieces.
