Handmade quilt by women in San Pedro Sula, Honduras

Description

 This fun and happy quilt called Bursting with Happiness was made by our sweet Maker Yajira.  

Yajira, a devoted mother to her beloved son, longed for an opportunity to showcase her culinary skills and pursue her education. She yearned to provide a better life for her child and support her parents, who were going through a difficult time following the tragic loss of her younger sister just a few months ago. The pain of her sister's passing weighed heavily on her heart, marking it as the darkest moment she had ever faced.

Yajira and her sisters were born and raised in San Pedro Sula, a city known for its resilience and vibrant spirit. Despite the challenges that life threw their way, Yajira's mother stood as a pillar of strength, determined to give her daughters the best opportunities possible. She worked tirelessly, harvesting corn to ensure there was food on the table for her children.

Education played a crucial role in Yajira's life. She had the privilege of studying in two schools, embracing knowledge and the power it held. Grateful for her good health, she recognized the value of education as a stepping stone towards a brighter future.

Yajira's dreams extended beyond her personal aspirations. She envisioned completing the construction of her own home, hand-in-hand with her supportive husband. Together, they yearn to build a haven of love and security for their family. They understand that through honest work and dedicated effort, they can overcome any obstacle that stood in their way. Yajira's recent endeavor is beginning classes at the University of San Pedro Sula and she is studying Human Rights.  This is an amazing feet for a woman in the slums of Honduras.
