Short Story: Empowered Women Empower Others
Karina was in her community where she used to live in Pucallpa, Peru in the selva (jungle). When she sent the message she was in town buying some refreshments for the women and was able to get a connection to send the video. In the video she is teaching the women beaded art work and they are making coasters (posa vasos). This is an item that Karina had previously mentioned that she would have available to send for the second shipment to the U.S. Karina is able to empower other women teaching them beaded artistry. The coasters on this website are created by the women in this video. Below is a short video by Karina.
