We
have begun working with a new cooperative of women in San Juan la
Laguna, Guatemala. It is a beautiful village on Lake Atitlan, but
since Hurricane Stan wiped out their coffee crops in 2005, the women have come
together to form a weaving cooperative and to help their community
recover. The unique thing about these women is that they are using
natural dyes as their grandmothers did many years ago. All of the
plants are collected close to their village.
