What's in the bag? "Social Fabric."

February 14, 2010

Mario Van Blerk, our Admiral of the highland roads of Guatemala, commented on the intelligent and composed responses that Maria Elena Ramirez the head weaver of our team of backstrap weavers in San Pedro Crutzan made to Alexia Rios Hayasha, the CNN en Espanol reporter last Thursday.  

My brother Christopher and I were held up in Customs coming back last night.  We have four large bags with us.  "What's in the bag?" asked the officer.  "Social Fabric" I replied. 

He was very kind in his response and wanted to learn more.  

The CNN film will air this week in Latin America.  
We got a great response from the range of Guatemalan society.  The children were ecstatic.
