In the Spotlight

Congratulations to the weavers of GALVAIN CUY, “NEW LIFE.” A group of 12 Zapotec women weave, dye and sell traditional regional wool rugs made with natural dyes. Starting in 1998, and located in the Central Valley region in the village of Teotilán del Valle, one of Oaxaca’s most marginalized communities, the women of Galvain Cuy, New Life achieve sales to indirectly benefit 40 family members.
