Continuing to Keep the Villages Clean: Maya Communities Come Together

"Fahina is when the community comes together to care for their village. The story of resislience continues to live on among our people. Today during the delivery of food relief a village leader explained that his village competed their fahina. That is was done in teams of 10 persons at a time. That it took longer but as he said 'who else will take care of our village. We cannot allow the bush to grow over us because of this sickness.'" #IndigenousStories
