Anne Louise Carneyescaped from Canada's cold winter to join us at the center to work in ourgarden and with local women in the community. One of the groups she worked withwas the Las Morphas women’s group that meets at the center twice a week to workon their crafts and to speak about the community. They along with other artisanssell their products in our gallery at the Center. Anne used her expertise infelting to teach Las Morphas and all interested community women how to makefrogs, monkeys, birds, butterflies, and other rainforest animals out of thefelting material she donated. They had never used anything like it before, butlearned very quickly. This was a great activity because many female artisansgenerate an income by selling their handmade products in our gallery.  Although Anne did not speak any Spanish, thewomen and her connected on a deep level and spent a lot of time laughing.
