Voices of the Maya

Voices of the Maya is a project which aims to preserve indigenious Maya culture and language in the voice of the Maya themselves.

It started as research as part of my Masters degree in anthropology and has now grown into an amazing lifelong adventure. I have been working with the Maya for over seven years and our professional and friendship relationship continues to grow.

In 2019 I was named the Scientific Exploration Societies Rivers Foundation Explorer in order to create educational resources in Q'eqchi' and Mopan Mayan, explore caves for evidence of ancient Maya habitation; educate the wider community of Aguacate about their ancestors and educate the community about the importance of oral hygiene.

It has since developed into a long term project which aims to create educational material in Q'eqchi' and Mopan Maya. This means the project requires continual support!
