My name is Caryn Maxim. I live in NJ but spend 2 weeks of each month in Cajola, a Maya Mam community in the western highlands of Guatemala. (The Mam people are one of the 22 Maya ethnic groups in Guatemala.) I have been helping a group of women start a weaving cooperative, MayaMam Weavers, over the past years. I would like to share with you some of their work, some of their stories, some of their wisdom, as well as why fair trade -- or trading fairly -- matters.

Weaving Colors into New Scarves
We are having such great success with our gossamer weave scarves that we are enjoying weaving new designs nearly every other week! We have just launched one on Etsy that is completely rainbow stripes, in others we have inserted just slivers of rainbow stripes. We will try to get several more new designs onto Etsy in the next week or so!
