It's been quite a while since we posted on this page, but rest assured, Mujeres de Maiz OF is still going strong. We have downsized a bit, but our 10 final scholarship girls are working toward their goals. Erika from Zinacantan finished her law degree and Yessica from Crucero will finish this year. Sara from Yajalon has one more year to finish her nursing/obstetric degree and Karla is in the 2nd year of business administration. Yessenia is loving her training to be a pre-school teacher, and Eugenia is delighted with her advanced classes in sewing and design. Antonia recently completed her preparatory degree and both Paty and Perla are in preparatory. Many thanks to the generous folks sponsoring these girls.
We have 5 Children's Programs running. The scholarship recipients have been in charge of these programs, and for the first time, as girls have completed their education and no longer have that obligation, we are giving stipends to folks in the communities that are interested in making sure these programs continue.
As always, we fund workshops 6 times a year to the members of the cooperative with which we partner, and 3 times a year for workshops dedicated to the scholarship recipients. We also continue funding eye exams and glasses.
We are now in our 21st year and all our successes are due to our loyal supporters who have generously funded us through the years.
Although we are not currently soliciting donations, we gratefully accept them. You can donate on our website page (www.MujeresDeMaizOF.org} or mail to PO Box 1956, Sequim, WA 98382
