Catalina Estrada for Laboratorio del Espiritu

Nov 17, 2011

Regarding her latest project with Laboratorio del Espiritu, Catalina Estrada writes, “I just couldn’t possibly feel happier and more proud to see one of my favorites projects ever finally starting to come out. It’s a dream come true and I hope you like it as much as I do.”

Laboratorio del Espiritu is an NGO that creates cultural and learning opportunities for children in rural Colombia. Catalina decided to contribute to the cause after visiting the organization in person. She was deeply touched by what she saw: “Some of the kids attending the Library live in really difficult conditions and have very sad stories in many aspects, and when I read their notebooks I was blown away by the power and strength of their words, their ability to express their feelings in such a transparent way, their connection with nature was mesmerizing and I was absolutely inspired from what I read.”

Catalina has designed several scarves based on the poetry written by the Colombian children. The scarves are available at her online store, and 100% of the profit will go to benefit Laboratorio del Espiritu.
