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.

MayaMam Weavers New Stripes
We have just designed two new stripe patterns to take advantage of this year's trending colors -- jade, mustard, and coral in one and jade (again) with violet in the other.
Let us know what you think!
