Dear Friends,

Mayan Hands is involved in two trips/tours coming up in March.

The first has a Jewish leaning and is a joint venture, the second is pure Mayan Hands, with a textiles and fair trade focus. Different dates, similar prices, some of the same activities, some not. If you know anyone interested, please pass this on. We have people in both groups now, and we'd love to have more people in both!

For the Mayan Hands trip: www.mayanhands.org for full info, attachment for itinerary.


For the Fair Trade Judaica trip:

Here's the link to our website that has the information.
