Mettre en lumière des femmes d\'exception aux horizons différents, afin d\'inspirer et de donner de l\'espoir au reste de la Communauté des Femmes

This weekend Luz, Mikey and I went to Otavalo. We organized a Christmas celebration with the lead artisans and their workers on Sunday. The party was a lot of fun and we dressed up in the traditional dress of the indigenous people in and around Otavalo.

They told me that Doña Guadalupe has studios for rent. So every day I would go up to them and ask them if they had seen Doña Guadalupe or if they knew when she would be coming back. Until finally one day when I came back from ringing her doorbell unsuccessfully she walked along the street towards me and Santiago very discretely indicated who she was.

I feel like I do not know Quito very well yet, but what I can say is that it is HUGE. When we go from one place to another, there seems no end to the taxi ride! We went to a very nice park on a hill which overlooks the city the other day. In general the city is hilly, or rather mountainous considering that it is at almost 3000m sea level. This weekend one of the main festivals of Quito is taking place, which is jeopardising some of our shipments unfortunately. But on the up side we went to a concert with some of Luz and Mikey’s friends last night.
