I agreed to host an Artisan and his family. The experience was wonderful. I visit the family occasionally now and they are so friendly. The father said that the mother and little girl cried when they had to leave.
Most of the Artisans come from small villages and many don't have bathrooms so it is like a vacation for them to stay in a nice home and be entertained.
The Feria was so exciting! Mexico has some very talented Artisans and these came from all over the country. It would be very costly to travel to all of these areas and finding the Artisans could be difficult. I was so fortunate to be involved.
More feedback
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
be much larger. Unfortunately the size is limited and there are so many artisans who don't get to participate. I am so amazed at the creativity of the Mexican people and it is widespread.
