We are the Maya Centre Women's Group, Mopan Maya Women in Maya Centre Village united to sell our uniquely handmade Art & Craft, and the entrance tickets for the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Stann Creek District, Belize. 18 years ago we started with only 15 members. Now we are 50 women, in the ages of 15 to 80 years, working together to sustain our families. We give our time voluntarily in working shifts and cleaning of the area. We feel proud, because we still practise our culture, wear our traditional clothing and sell traditional Maya Art & Craft, like slate carvings, baskets, calabash, Mopan Maya clothing, jewelry and other unique art. |
