Cochas Chico, a small farming community nestled In the Andean mountains of Huancayo Peru, is home to a rich tradition of gourd carving. It's also home to Esperanza and Raquel, two women who have established small fair-trade businesses to help their community. Gourds are carved by men, women, and children aged 10 to 60.
