Hogar x Gloria Q. Women's Coop Partner Exchange!

Some of the most generative aspects of our work is when 2 (or more) of our inspiring community partners get to meet, exchange and build bridges.

The Gloria Quintanilla Women’s Cooperative in Santa Julia recently welcomed back the staff from Hogar Luceros del Amanecer of Camoapa at the end of April 2024.

Staff from Hogar Luceros del Amanecer’s Bosque Verde Farm learn from members of the Gloria Quintanilla Women’s Cooperative.

Sebastian Rodriguez, the director of Hogar, commented that, “the women of the Cooperative are an encyclopedia” after their first visit. When Hogar hired new staff for their Bosque Verde (Green Forest) farm this year, they brought them to learn some key insights from the Gloria Quintanilla Women’s Cooperative.
