The
Mayas Today
Today the descendants of those who built
the amazing archaeological zones live within the Mexican States of Chiapas,
Campeche, Tabasco, Quintana Roo and Yucatan as well as the Central American
Countries of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador.
The Mayas live in small extremely poor communities keeping the same
ancient life style, speaking their native language, harvesting the land
the same way as their ancestors did and paying tribute to their old
traditions.
Some of them are bilingual as they learn Spanish to be able to communicate
with the other inhabitants in the area; however, it is still possible
to find communities where the visitor will not hear any other language
but Maya.
Friends of the Maya Foundation is born thanks to the interest of Mr.
José Manuel García in enhancing life within of the World
of the Maya while preserving it uniqueness. The Maya people have shared
with him and his family their rich culture and generous spirit over
the past 20 years. Today a great number of friends, entrepreneurs, clients,
suppliers and people who believe in this project have supported this
action...
Friends of the Maya Foundation coordinates the efforts and active (replace
with: increase or activate) participation of individuals, local and
international organizations and corporations to achieve our goals (replace
with: mission/vision or objective).
I am not sure that Mr. Gracia is enhancing life within of the World
of the Maya while preserving it uniqueness however you can insert the
vision statement as well. IE in delivering immediate and lasting improvements
to the World of the Maya (while preserving it uniqueness).
