Note: 80% of the product is unique piece (handmade) because it is recyclable product, so most of the pieces can not be reproduced exactly because it is a unique art, but they can make something similar with different color and design.

On the other hand I have no web site or products online because I live in the mountains of rural Mayan communities (3 hours from the capital and 7 hours from the Mexican Border) so if I want to send a product from where I live is more expensive the shipment than the real cost of the product.

My main idea is to travel to the United States with the product to a any fairs, Churches, associations so I'm asking for your help to show the fine art of the Maya communities.

The second idea is to open a store in the United States so that there is a existing product and people can buy online and shipping won't be a problem.

The third idea is to be a distributor in stores of handmade stuff.

The most important thing for me is that I just want to help the local economy in rural Mayan communities. I do not invest anything in the product. These people trust me and give me their products on consignment so I'm just doing a favor to show their art in another country like (USA). If I sell a product I'll take 30% for expenses and travel. Therefore my slogan says BEHIND EVERY ITEM THERE IS A STORY. Single mothers stories, stories of single parents, widows stories, stories of domestic violence, etc.

Last year I went to Abilene Tx a fair at a university called ACU were 4 days of fair called SUMMIT and after that I went to a Christian Church they opened doors to me to sell the Maya products. I sent you two pictures of my booth in Abilene (ACU) Tx.

I started with the idea of WEAVING HOPES since I started reading the book WHEN HELPING HURTS by Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert. How to alleviate poverty without hurting the poor and myself. The Maya have a unique art in the world that is not valued and appreciated and is an art they have inherited for thousands of years, it is an art that I could never learn. So instead of giving free I want to educate the Mayan people with their art and make their economy more decent and they can send their children to school. My wish is that Maya art reaches other countries with their stories.
