MayaMam Weavers Debut in Cajola Sunday Market

We aren’t sure why it has taken us this long, but last Sunday we set up a table in our local market. We had a place alongside the main square, which is a bit outside of the main market, but still a good place to start. We started off by offering some of our fabrics by the meter, our striped and embroidered wristbands, a completely new style of scarves, new colors of shawls, and our messenger bags. We didn’t actually sell too much this week but lots of people stopped by and promised to come next Sunday with their money in order to buy something. To prepare for the market, we have been working with our literacy teacher in how to fill out the sales sheet and calculate the sales and expenses so we know we have the correct amount of cash. We will be participating in the market every Sunday for the next weeks, then we will evaluate to see if we want to continue in Cajola or we want to go to the nearby huge market in San Juan Ostuncalco.
