Hard at work translating

As you can see we’re working very hard at translating the site into Spanish, which the documentary’s original language. Nelo, María Cruz Jiménez’s son is helping me -just kidding this photo is from the first Summer of filming in 2006, I’m not even a fake blonde any more. But Nelo was a great assistant through the whole project and I hope to see him and all the other family’s children soon. 

We don’t believe in filming and getting the hell out of a place, particularly on a subject like this, so we became close to the Cruz Jiménez family and other contributors to the film. One of the things we’re doing to help them is contributing to the children’s education, most of them now in primary and some in secondary school, and hopefully we’ll continue helping them if they want to carry on into further education. We’ll have a way for people to contribute to that if they want through the site or directly to Tzome Ixuk, the family’s women’s rights Co-op. Bye for now and more very soon!
