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
Para ellos es una gran bendicion ya que este proyecto les da esperanza y deseo de salir adelante todos juntos como una gran familia.

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
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.
Residente de Chajmaic
We are grateful to have the blessing of a just salary that can help us to put bread on the table, and can help us combat the hunger of our children.
Resident of 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.
Residente de Chajmaic
Luego tener la bendicion de un salario justo que los ayudara a llevar el pan a la mesa, y que podran combatir el hambre de sus hijos.
Residente de Chajmaic
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.
