Dear Mission of Love volunteers and friends,
Our Priceless Mission of Love volunteers will be placing the final touches on our newly constructed Mission of Love Maya workshop /school May 16, 2026. Together we will have The Grand Opening for the Maya community to witness the labor of love that we are donating to the community of Kancabdzonot, Mexico. We still have a way to go to fully complete the construction and furnish the school / workshop. Can you help financially with the final touches of our Maya school/ workshop via GoFundMe or our website; www.missionoflove.org in order to have the Grand Opening and opening of our Mission of Love workshop/school?
My Dear Kathleen Price,
God's plans are surprising! It was some years ago, on December 24th, in Valladolid,Yucatán, when my husband Saùl Jaime and I, after giving a wooden sculpture workshop course, in Holbox Island, Mexico, ( Saul is a sculpture artist), he told me "I would like to give you a gift, but I don't know yet what I can give you.” Saul was so grateful for all my collaboration on his projects. At that time we decided to visit his artisan friends in Kancabdzonot, Yucatán. It was there when someone told him that there was land for sale. We went to see the land, it was full of trees, weeds, and lots of birds singing and flying around, it was so beautiful. I just looked and turned my head and all I could do was admire the Maya land that was for sale.
Saúl just looked at my eyes that were filled emotion and illusion, and he told me: " this will be your Christmas gift! " I was so happy! Because since I was a little girl I always dreamed to have a ranch. God has now given me the opportunity to have a beautiful place, where I can and want to share my knowledge, with this Mayan community. I feel empathy because of my Mayan heritage with the Maya people and what they have endured throughout the years.
Then some years later from purchasing the land, God sent to me an angel to meet, Kathleen Price. I talked to her about the land and plans of building a workshop / school, and the needs of our people here. Kathleen knows all about the needs and vulnerable situations of the Maya, she had built schools, clinics, homes and sent ambulances, firetrucks and humanitarian aid via the United States Department of Defense Denton program and the United States Air Force for thirty years. Immediately she told me " Yes, we can do it!”
We are in need of resources to complete the last bit of our school/workshop. Our journey started March 2025. The main objective of this school will be aimed for people with very few resources and vulnerability such widows, single moms, elders, young and children. The purpose of Kathleen Price, Mission of Love, is always to contribute to a community with knowledge. At the workshop, we will be teaching and guiding with all new ideas, and skills, without taking their individuality and autonomy. We want them to grow, and have better job opportunities, at the same time they can teach others, what they are learning. Our school, will teach: wooden sculptures and carving, hand embroidery, hand crafts, English. Teaching the Maya these skills, will in turn they be able to create their own pieces and sell them directly to the tourists in the Chichen Itza area. They also will be able to explain how they made it, what kind of material they used etc. The land is extensive and has very fertile soil, we will have ladies cultivate and harvest good quality and nutritious food, also helping with their household economy. Our indigenous people need opportunities, they have been living marginalized, far from society, and discriminated against. This is the reason of the importance of our Mission of love school / workshop to be done.
Our director Kathleen Price, has been very attentive and involved in the March 2025 construction process of the workshop school, ensuring that the construction is monitored and she does not stop, by sending the necessary resources monthly. My husband Saul and I, continue working daily on activities such, painting walls, safeguarding materials, and cleaning the land.
For many years ago I have had this idea, this feeling of helping others to grow, to be better in all ways, to leave something when my body isn't in this world anymore, and the only thing I can leave is : Education, Jobs, and Love. But I could not leave all this without all the support of Kathleen Price, she is our indigenous Angel, because without her hard work, dedication, and unconditional love, this project would not have even begun. We are very blessed to have her with us.
Finally I want to thank God and Mission of Love. Thank you to our director and founder Kathleen Price, for the wise decision to believe in the proposal of a work shop / school, where people truly are in need. Without a doubt this project will have a social impact here in Kancabdzonot Mexico and surrounding Maya indigenous communities. Mission of Love will transcend.
"You are not here to save the world, but to touch the hands that are within your reach"
With love and gratitude.
