We have found a number of organizations working here in Santiago that are helping the people of Santiago. One of these we have recently been introduced to is The Cojolya Association of Mayan Women Weavers.
This organization employs local weavers which provides work for up to 80 weavers and runs a social program aimed at improving the lives of its workers, their families, and the local community. They also have a small museum about weaving that goes through the process from making the thread to the finished product.
They have a great web site which gives more history and some options for Christmas gifts that will make both the recipient happy and help the people of Santiago. www.cojolya.org
