Rocking in the rain again today. We collected gravel and rocks and passed them minga style to the work site.






This afternoon, we visited a women's group at the artisan market. The women make jewelry, baskets, and pottery together from natural resources. They get string from a local plant and beads from tagua, tree nuts. The profits help the women better contribute to supporting their families.





When we returned to Minga Lodge, I led a ballet/yoga session. Interesting? People said it was very relaxing. 

Tomorrow, we will visit a food market to discover how the average indigenous family living in the Amazon region buys food to feed many people on less than $1 per meal.
