Maria hand weaves belts, shawls,
neckscarves and a variety of other
items at her home in the western
highlands of Guatemala. She and the
other weavers in the group were
devastated when a tropical storm
caused mudslides that swept away
their homes and many of their family
members died.

Augustina is now raising two grandchildren and hopes to
be able to send them to school.
"By selling my weavings, I have been able to help care for the grandchildren and provide regular meals for them.
Thank you to Education And More for all their help!" Augustina says.
Recently Education And More provided a new sewing center, lessons and machines to her group as an added benefit for them. Augustina was not able to learn to sew but her grown daughter has learned and now is a part of the group and earning money with her sewing.
