Father Antonio Polo initiated the FUNORSAL Foundation (Fundacion de Organizaciones de Salinas) to set up and manage cooperatives to transform raw materials to finished goods. See the Headquarters building (SEDE FUNORSAL) among the pictures below. For example, cocoa to chocolat candy, wool to yarn and textiles, meat to sausage, mushrooms to soups and packages, and milk into fancy and natural cheeses. To do this, workers are selected and trained (often in foreign countries), machinery is procured (often previously used), and extensive marketing is conducted. Much of the production is sold in Europe and North America and the basic producers get to share in the wealth created from their work.
