“[W]e decided to get women from the community to be part of the work. ...The community is participating. ...[Y]ou have women sanding the wood, almost like a meditation, but... they also earn money... [I]n this way... the project... become[s] part of the community. It is creating an identity. People know how the building was made, and they have been part of the building, but they also earn money... to feed their family.”
