Support the ADIVIMA Memorial Quilt
Help massacre survivors in Guatemala to launch a memorial quilt and develop a handicrafts cooperative among affected indigenous communities
Survivors from the 1982 Rio Negro massacres in Guatemala have followed the example of the Srebrenica survivors in Bosnia and woven a quilt commemorating the massacre victims.
In 2009, AP will work with Peace Fellows to help their advocacy organization, the Association for the Integral Development of the Victims of Violence in the Verapaces, Maya Achi (ADIVIMA), use the quilt in raising support for an ambitious handicrafts project in the highlands of Guatemala and to press ADIVIMA’s demand for reparations in Washington.
