The week of June 18 we gave more Chaya workshops in our learning centre. Our participants were from many different groups. We had representatives from MAGA (the Ministry of Education), Pura Vida (a group that has been working on the other side of the lake for many years trying to reintroduce chia, amaranth and chaya into the local diet) ADISA (a wonderful group of people of people that work with handicapped children), a Peace Corp volunteer and a Valle University student doing her masters on Chaya.
Aldea Maya made lunch for the group the day of their nutrition workshop. The meal consited of Chaya tortillas, beans with Chay and a beverage made with chia and chaya. There were approximately 35 people and they all enjoyed the meal. They felt it was a good idea to include Chaya in the daily meal of the people of Chuk Muk and also to use it in the school program.
