Description

Visited an exhibition of their furniture in Cusco and chatted with a craftsman. Their furniture is exceptional, albeit expensive, and the motivations/success of their project fantastic. The majority of their craftsmen are orphans, trained as craftsmen, and given an opton to go solo or work for Don Bosco.
Best bits: Amazing furniture
Worst bits: Not really applicable
