Cositas was my initial placement while in Cusco and it was plenty admirable how that project came to be. It was started out years ago by Dutch travellers who felt they could help women in low income families to supplement the cost of living by teaching them various skills with jewellery making. Now, many years after the Dutch left and the funding ceased, the ladies have thrived and flourished into a close knit bunch of mom's who create exquisite works of art for any kind of custom jewellery requirements.
My assignment for the initial two weeks in Cusco was to look after the children of these wonderful women and teach them English, entertain them and help them finish their homework for the day.
What a wonderful time!
