Damaris Chonay (15 years old) is on her way to her new secondary school, moving closer to her dream of becoming a doctor, in order to bring medical care to her community where there is none. Damaris lives in a Mayan agricultural community in Guatemala where her family resides in a small cement home with dirt floors.
You can purchase baskets made in Guatemala from pine needles, along with a large selection of exquisite jewelry, collectibles, wood items, chocolate and food items, clothing and toys from 38 different countries in our Fair Trade Shop at Stone Presbyterian Church, 8 So.
