Updates from MayaWorks in Guatemala
Response to the Disaster


You can view photos taken immediately following the mudslides and from our visit in February 2006 here.

Posted below, most recent first, are reports we've received from our staff in Guatemala and emails we've sent from our Chicago office. In Guatemala, Mirian Otzin is our Program Coordinator and Mirna Roquel is our Production Coordinator.

The February 2006 report was written after our US staff and MayaWorks Tour Group visited Panabaj and the area of the mudslides.

MayaWorks Guatemala staff and artisans expressed to all of us from the US their gratitude for the many donations which made possible the MayaWorks relief efforts. If you are reading this and were one of those many donors we share with you

the profound thanks of the people whose lives you touched. We ask that you continue to remember them as they rebuild their lives and to consider a gift to MayaWorks to support our on-going work of economic development. Just use our secure DONATE NOW button or send a donation to MayaWorks, 1732 W. Hubbard St. Suite 1A, Chicago, IL 60622.
