Irene was one of the first artisans to join the project and collaborate with us. She enjoyed taking care of her son José and participating in activities at his school, such as cooking. She loved playing with José and running down the steep streets of Naupan. In addition, she loved taking care of her sheep. Above all, she always participated in meetings and gatherings, bringing lunch to share and generously accepting what the other companions offered her.
