About the family
Originally from Sarabando Alto, Blanca has spent three decades in Aletones, marked by challenges and resilience. After meeting her husband, Danilo Mosquera, in Belén, she joined him in the Aletones district, a decision shaped by the echoes of the armed conflict. Despite adversities, including losing her traditionally agricultural parents, she rebounded in cocoa cultivation, an initiative supported and strengthened by different institutions.
