I stumbled across them in the course of checking out names for a Maya women's handicrafts association here in New Bedford. We wanted to name our group Oxlajuj B'atz' and so I wanted to check whether anyone else was using the name... and then when I was in Guate I made contact with the group and visited them last year for international women's day. But I didn't go there over the summer at all, unfortunately. Let's be in touch.Gringa con saborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05410592012346635202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784926782403067857.post-79929121142868757792012-03-07T05:32:26.362-08:002012-03-07T05:32:26.362-08:00Hola!

Last summer, I spent three months in Panajachel as a Fellow for Oxlajuj B'atz', a fair trade and women's empowerment organization, and I hope to return to Guatemala on a Fulbright to research the impact of fair trade on Mayan weaving cooperatives and Mayan communities in general. I would love to hear more about your Fulbright experience in Guatemala and perhaps ask you a few questions about the application process. You can reach me by e-mail at nbrand@berkeley.edu. Thanks and I look forward to hearing more about your experience!Nikki B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01840378011793895102noreply@blogger.com
