As a secondary project (or
complimentary as some prefer) I work with the local Women's Center, or Centro de Madres, giving business charlas, working on organizational strengthening and helping with marketing and sales of their products. The Centro de Madres is a group of 35 or so women of all ages, mainly 40 plus, but there is an entry point for youth to work with them as well. The group meets every Wednesday at the
Taller de Muñequeria (Doll making shop), opening each meeting by standing and singing the national anthem
Quisqueyanos valientes (or Valiant Quisqueyans).

Making the dresses:
They have a variety of doll products, each one with a different names such as Lolita and Ary:
