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.

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.
