Viva Las Chicas Bravas
Just south of the AZ border, the act of recycling is lifting a group of women out of extreme poverty.
Dubbed "Las Chicas Bravas" by some of the locals, the ladies in Fronteras are working with American Retroworks, a company founded by a couple U.S. ex-tech industry pros, to recycle parts from used computers and TVs.
AR flies the Mexicanas to VT for training - and with this training they can make an OK living in a place where women over 30 have trouble finding work due to stiff competition from similarly underemployed men and younger women. See this vid from PBS for more:
