$20 Women’s Health Card
Nutrition and cooking classes are given to the women ( and sometimes men)of Chuk Muk. We focus on native plants and issues affecting their diet like lack of knowledge about basic nutrition as well as any knowledge about complete protein, vitamins and minerals. Our goal is to teach through workshops how to feed their family inexpensive, highly nutritious tasty food. We use 2 wonderful cookbooks developed by Dietitians at ProyectoCAN. These cookbooks use pictures as the women cannot read or write.

$25 Supplies for middle school card
The Guatemalan government gives absolutely no money for the supplies to run a middle school. Aldea Maya uses the funds raised to buy daily supplies like paper as well as permanent supplies like gym equipment, musical instruments, art supplies, wood working equipment. We have also been buying stoves, woodworking equipment, cabinets and all supplies for our nutrition program. We are expanding to teach nutrition classes to women in the village.
$35 Basico student fees card
The school must pay a fee to the government, which they use to pay a small salary to the teachers. This card pays the individual fees for one student for half a school year. Without this help most students would not be able to attend the Basico.
$40 University/ College student card
It costs well over $1000 for a student to attend university or college. To enable Aldea Maya to support students in post secondary education we need to raise a considerable amount for each student. By selling these cards we get a group of donors to work together. When you buy this card you receive the report cards of one student for a year. We presently have students studying: Law, Agriculture, Math, physics, social work, system Engineer, business administration, nursing, electrician, education, chef, mechanics, lab technician, Xray technician
