The link above is the first part of Lourdes Frasser Rojas, the president of SoCagru, explaining how SoCagru started. She went to school to do hair and makeup, which is not accepted in the Boruca culture due to it being considered superficial, became a teacher, started to paint masks, all as a means of raising 4 children on her own, then created SoCagru with the help of her son, Harol. That is my very short summary translated with my understanding of French so please watch for the amazing story straight from Lourdes (if you know French or Spanish).
