Builder of Progress

This photograph was taken in Mina La Chilena where these 3 powerful women, Maureen, Teresita, and Elizabeth, strive to the last drop, as important leaders, to extract from the mountains the raw materials that will build our cities. Behind this photograph, 3 stories are an example for many women worldwide and in Costa Rica's construction sector. Their natural smiles in the photo are a transparent nod to their unique way of seeing life and being that has placed them where they are today, changing minds.
