She is standing in a room filled with darkness, the only source of light comes through a small window. Her presence fills up the tool shed with a deep energy. She is in a room of the shed constructed of wood, located on a hill of one of the coffee fields. For some of these women this is where we find the very heart of “Buscando Futuro” an association of women farmers and plantation owners, where they can grow their coffee on small plots of land, in the face of adversity. There is a sweet and joyful atmosphere of community amongst these single women of all ages, aided by the FNC; the legendary Colombian Coffee Growers Federation. Most of them have lost their husbands, their fathers, their brothers, often in tragic circumstances. The upheavals of Columbia’s history have deeply affected the lives of these courageous women who have learned to fend for themselves by taking on the opportunities of working in coffee cultivation. Each one of these women’s faces is composed of tenderness, sorrow, and above all force. The face of Gerardina Caldon was imbued with a refined combination of beauty and gravity.
