International Women’s Day, Happehatchee
Other upcoming paths to peace events at Happehatchee include a Mayan Cross Ceremony from 5 to 8 p.m., on May 3, that celebrates Mayan Cross Day (and is open to the public). “This symbolic cer- emony, which will be conducted by the Mayan Sprit Youth Group, includes songs to nature and bamboo drums made at Happe- hatchee,” says board president Genelle Grant, who is connected with the Guatemalen Rural Adult
and Children’s Education (GRACE) Project’s six-month training in Women’s Health Education. She notes that several aspects of the GRACE Peer Health Education program are about path- ways to peace for individuals, families and the community, including education about domestic violence and family com- munication, teaching children to read, human trafficking and how to alleviate trauma and stress.
