Costa Rica

February - March, 2020 - It was a remarkable trip to Costa Rica. I worked with two groups of women, teaching them to coil and crochet with recycled fabrics, plastic bags, and local abaca fiber. I learned as much as they did. Click here to read the stories and see many more photos of my blog.

​I met Elsa Asturias in the summer of 2018. She is from Guatemala, and is an artist, a business woman, an organizer, a translator. When she learned that I had done craft development work with women in Africa, she asked if I might be interested in working with the women who live near the dump in Guatemala City. "Of course." And she began working her magic to make it happen...
I traveled to Guatemala in January/February of 2019. It was a remarkable trip. I worked with two groups of women: women from four rural communities, as well women who lived around the dump in Guatemala City.
