Pachay las Lomas:
AMIDI: Association of Indigenous Women for Holistic Development
This is an association of 40 Kaqchikel Mayan women living traditionally in Pachay las Lomas, an isolated village in the highlands of Guatemala. Many of the women are widows, in the aftermath of Guatemala’s civil war, 1960-1996. If artful, hand-woven weavings interest you, please attend private, local sales of AMIDI table linens in Healdsburg, CA.
