Orange Art
Arte Naranja - Artesanias de cáscara de naranja
Aromatic boxes made of wild orange peel which grow in large trees of the rainforest; each box is delicately oven driedso as to not lose its natural scent. The three rosettes that adorn each box arered, yellow, or orange and are made one by one out of grapefruit.
We are a group of mothers from the rainforest region of Villa Tunari where we have wild orange trees. We learned our craft through NGO training. When they left, we lost our markets, many of our tools, and our livelihood. We hope to lift ourselves out of poverty by making these fragrant Orange boxes.

We want our group to come back together again and to have enough box orders to climb out of poverty. We need to get our customers back, but by working through fair trade which is more stable and secure in order not to fail once again. In this way, we can plan to better educate our children and also improve the health of the whole family.
