Doña Casimira and Doña Narciza Assembling Chuspas

Blog postings happen just once a month because of the 8 hour bus ride from Independencia to Cochabamba where I can access the Internet via an Internet café or my laptop and wi-fi. I’m headed home early tomorrow, but had to post a huge THANK YOU to our Spinzilla TNNA sponsor Thrums/ClothRoads who has taken care of the funding we needed for prizes and transportation to the rural communities. We also owe a thanks to long time PAZA supporters Laverne Waddington and Dorothy Thursby-Stern. Any additional support this month will be added to the operating fund for the ongoing PAZA activities.

I can’t believe the next time I sit here using the hostel’s Wi-Fi I’ll be posting our Spinzilla spinning results. It’s the final countdown!
