MayaMam Weavers -- Look at Us!

We have a new friend, Murphy Woodhouse, who is an immigration activist and a photographer. He has been in nearby Quetzaltenango for a few months working on a project about the abuse our family members and friends receive from the US immigration authorities when they are detained at the border. He has been visiting us in Cajola because so many Cajolenses -- nearly 40% -- are in the US, and so many of them experience the abuse when they are detained. Murphy he took some time off to photograph us at work. We will be using some of his photos on our website (still in process). But here is one special photo we want to share with you ahead of time!
