Partner: AMMID - The Mayan Mam Association
AMMID works to promote leadership, children’s rights and self esteem amongst indigenous (Mayan-Mam) youth in Comitancillo through cultural, sports and multi-media activities. Targeting the students that have graduated from the four schools that Change for Children has built in the region over the last 5 years, this project will enable AMMID to host youth conferences, artistic festivals and multimedia events designed to ensure that local working children and youth become active as indigenous citizens, capable of participating in the political process and self government initiatives in their region.
