Review for Oxlajuj B'atz // Thirteen Threads // Trece Hilos, Solola, , Guatemala
My time with Thirteen Threads has been incredibly influential. It is hard to explain an experience that has shaped my perspective so profoundly. I can say that I am honored to work with such a large and diverse community of talented and good-hearted women. I can also say that OB’s mission of female empowerment through education and support is holistically central to all that takes place there and is a mission that I have been thrilled to help along, in all ways possible. Last week I attended a graduation at OB. It was a group of around ten indigenous women who have been taking rug-hooking classes at OB for the past three years. In graduating, they are now ready to be teachers in their respective villages, which will increase their own livelihoods as well as any and all of their students’. It was a very happy and moving day with so much promise and excitement for the future. It is projects like these that make OB such an incredibly unique and important non-profit.
