So what were you doing when you were there, and how many communities did you go across when you were in Peru?

Well, we now work with 18 different communities in five different watersheds.

So when I go down, uh, I obviously can't visit every community during every visit.

Uh, this trip, uh, we did three different workshops.

So the first one was, uh, a really exciting one.

Um, our programs are focused around helping artisans improve their craftsmanship, get organized, and do natural resource management in a thoughtful way.

So we started out some years ago of hiring an artisan who knew how to make something to teach others.

So you talked to us about the term fair trade and why that's important, but when we're here in the United States, how does that money from these purchases actually get back to the artisans in Peru?
