The school year is winding down in Guatemala but scholarship recipients will continue their academic formation at MayaWorks' sponsored tutoring centers.
Girls at the Rosa Moya Center in Comalapa will continue to reinforce their weak subject areas with their tutor. They will also come to the center to have access to the Internet since most families cannot afford to have a computer at home. They also love coming to the center because they get to hang out with their friends!
Their mothers, who support their daughters' education with the income they receive weaving MayaWorks products, will also receive workshops during the vacation months. Mothers are very interested to learn new weaving techniques. The Rosa Moya Center has a loom so the mothers come to the center to practice weaving. They also teach their daughters to weave too! Most likely their daughters will never make a living by weaving, but mothers want to make sure that this art form remains a strong tradition in Guatemala.
