Mayan Hands


Brenda from Mayan Hands visited the 4/5's and Middle School to share Guatemalan textiles and crafts. The students learned about fair trade and why it is important. Brenda also taught us about the various languages, people and styles of weaving in Guatemala and how the kids can help the deep poverty that exists. The students were really excited to share their thoughts and ideas and left the presentation with some new views as consumers.

If you would like to learn more about Mayan Hands and free trade, please visit their website at Mayan Hands.
