FundaMaya was born from the vision of a group of Indigenous Mayan and some Australian, and American friends. From the beginning, it was important to everyone involved that FundaMaya be a Guatemalan organization. While we partner with people from other countries and benefit from the energy, skill, and knowledge of two of our founders, Sharon and Dwight, our board is now all Guatemalan and predominantly indigenous. Our board members are from the Lake Atitlan area, truly understand the culture, and respect the way of life. Maya helping Maya
