The foundation begins its work by teaching hard drug users how to embroider two nights a week, without fail, for two years. This way, creating a community that learned to anxiously wait for workshop day in the middle of the shadows casted by the streets, the night, and drugs. After experiencing the unlikely, came the pandemic, and the foundation decided to open its doors to 31 drug addicts and homeless to take shelter from social indifference caused by the fear of contagion. By then, the older members of the embroidery collective were gaining more and more expertise in their craft, and by now they are considered artisans. They all now live under their own roof, paid by the salary earned at the dressmaking studio. Some of them even study, while the minors still live in Diamantina’s house.
