This work provides a great blessing for the people of Chajmaic, as it gives [this village of 1,600] hope and determination to come together as one big family.
Hector Ricardo San José
Something wonderful about this work is that it is located close to home and the laborers don’t have to leave their families for long periods of time and live far away in order to support them.
Residente de Chajmaic
Primero la bendicion de poder optar a un trabajo digno y justo, en donde todos podran aprender cosas nuevas y desarrollar su trabajo con alegria, sin ser explotados u oprimidos.

Tambien la alegria que podran ir y venir todos los dias a sus trabajos desde sus casas, ya que por estar accesible el lugar de trabajo no tendran que ir a vivir a otro lugar lejos de sus familias.
Residente de Chajmaic
Para ellos es una gran bendicion ya que este proyecto les da esperanza y deseo de salir adelante todos juntos como una gran familia.
Hector Ricardo San José
We feel blessed to have the possibility for work, which is dignified and just, in which everyone can learn new skills and have professional development in a positive atmosphere, without exploitation or oppression.
