When I first met sponsored students Ana Isabel 611 and Vilma 612 they were both wearing a hotch pot of traditional clothing, very old , worn cortes ( skirts ) and over sized t.shirts. They really did not look good. We had a second hand corte and guipils ( blouses) that we had and we gave it to the girls. They were so happy.
Now – thanks to their sponsors- they have received beautiful brand new traditional clothing that fits them perfectly and they are so proud of themselves.
Thank you for giving this gift of clothing to them – this not only
keeps the culture alive in Guatemala but it provides works for the
cottage industries that make the woven cortes( skirts) and the people
who embroider the guipils ( blouses).
