Stone Angels With a Story of Strength

One World Projects is honored to be the first export customer for Timotea Quispe de Bautista’s stone angel ornaments. Handcarved from the stone she finds in the Andean mountains, these angels are a true symbol of the strength of the human spirit.

Timotea, the woman with the big smile and even bigger heart, has overcome incredible hardships yet still sees each new day as an opportunity for success. She is a native of Ayacucho, Peru, a centuries old Andean city perched 8,000 feet above sea level.

Timotea and her family have survived the ruthless "peasant revolution" carried out by Shining Path in the late seventies, a brutal insurgency that touched trade union organizers, popularly elected officials and the general civilian population in the 1970's.
