Woven Bracelets

Apolonia, from San Antonio Palopó a small village on Lake Atitlan, works making woven wristbands at home. She has now made some beautiful bracelets for Nuestros Niños. It is the first time she has actually done these bracelets with letters; she usually just works with colors, but now she has made these woven bracelets with words. Apolonia has done a great job and now she is happy that she has received an income for this.

Apolonia has five children, ranging in ages 16 to 5 years of age. The youngest, Maria Cristina, 5 years old has a scholarship at Mayan Families and just graduated from the Mayan Families Preschool Nutritional Center in 2012.
 
 
 
We thank Nuestros Niños for making this order, as you know, these families do not have much to live on, and every single little income is always more than helpful for them.

If you would like to order a bracelet from Apolonia, just let us know, what colors and what message you would like on your bracelet, she will be happy to keep learning how to do new things for you.
