The Women's Center

Today, we visited the women's center here in San Lucas. The women's center is a place where almost all of the women here in San Lucas attend daily to learn how to weave, sew, and cook.  It is also a place where people in the community go to wash their clothes. Today, during our visit to the center we had the chance to learn how to make tortillas, carry the basin that women here in Guatemala put their clothes and food stuff inside. We also learned how to wash clothes using water from the rain and also how to  carry fire wood on our back. Learning how to carry the basin connected to my childhood experience as a young girl growing up in Ghana, West - Africa. In Ghana, we always carry basin to and from whether from the market, damping garbage, and to the River side.
