Women Of Monte Cristo

Nuevo Monte Cristo, Champerico, Retalhuleu, Guatemala. Doña María Felipe said: "It's a blessing to find the way, because we didn’t even dream! Our community is new; before we lived on the edge of the road… After we got a piece of land but we didn’t have enough money to cultivate and to eat. Now, with what we produce and sell, we complement our household expenses…Ah! Even our money reaches to go to the park on a Sunday with the family and to have fun for a while!“ Maria Elena, also says: "My actual monthly income is Q1,000.00; before Wakami, it was nothing! Now I go with my mom to the market, buy food for the house… I am very happy because I help my family. My father, mother and sister helped to fill the “pitas” and I weave the bracelets and the necklaces ... Moreover ... very nice! It's fun to work with the family and everybody wins! " |
