Coming down from the highest peak of the highest mountain in Lima, everyday, he guides his lamas to the village stream to quench their thirst. Then, he travels from mountain to mountain to visit all the surrounding villages with one mission in mind: to transmit all his knowledge and craft skills to young and old people. He can be seen walking through village squares surrounded by groups of happy children, sometimes clinging to him from all sides, grateful for having learned to draw, ready, write. The mothers wait patiently for his arrival too. Indeed, under the hands of this wonderful teacher, the threads are transformed into beautiful baskets and multicolored hats. Generous, he teaches all those who have the patience.
