Sandra Pereira Leal

My name is Sandra Pereira Leal. When my sister, Socorro returned to Brazil several years ago I had my first visit to the artisan groups. Being in the company of these women, getting to know their faces, looks, aspirations, I feel that there is something really genuine, something that almost brings me back to my childhood. As curious an observer that I am, I knew then that I would be involved in some capacity with this project. This exchange is absolutely fantastic. Every day is exciting, intense and challenging. Today, I am helping with the production process all the way to the final destination. I am fully dedicated and committed, and that makes me very happy and truly proud.
