We met Doña Rosa a few years ago during one of our visits to Cerro Verde. Her little home spoke volumes without saying a word—made of straw, with no metal roof or protection, it let the rain in every time it poured. Her comal (traditional griddle) had no center; she could only cook around the edges, resting it on improvised stones. There was no stove, no bed, no pantry. She slept on a thin mat on the floor, which she had to hang up whenever the ground became wet.
She kept her clothes in a sack and cooked with small, worn pots. And yet, every time we arrived, she welcomed us with joy. She would prepare coffee in a tiny kettle, and even though she barely had water—often stored in old, weathered barrels tinged green with age—she always offered us something with generosity and tenderness.
What impacted us most was her attitude. Though she lived alone and her daughters were far away, her face always reflected peace. When we asked how she managed without a steady income, she simply said,
“I don’t know how the day goes by, but it does.”
Her trust in God was her daily bread.
We decided to build her a new home—with a solid roof, a bed to hold her mat, and a dignified place to store her belongings. We also gave her a barrel to collect rainwater. Her reaction touched us deeply. She would always say,
“Don’t leave yet—wait, I’ll make some coffee,”
and welcomed us with a smile, as if our presence brought life into her home.
Doña Rosa spoke little, but her eyes and her heart said so much. Each visit reminded us that true joy doesn’t come from what we have, but from whom we trust.
If we had to describe her story in one word, it would be joy.
Because even though she had little, her heart was full of gratitude.
And to us, that was a gift.
