Socorro Sicay Pérez, director of the weaving cooperative.  The picture below is from just 4 months earlier, when Socorro had a huge, happy smile.  Unfortunately, since then she has suffered a fall that caused her to lose a front tooth.  Dental treatments to restore her smile will be too expensive for her.
