BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)
Recognize your luggage right away with a distinctive handwoven and hand made luggage tag. Or buy several of them. Proceeds benefit a Mayan women's cooperative in Guatemala, directly through the non-profit agency, Maya Works -- and, of course, you will be assisting BuzzFlash.com.

Our current luggage tags are all red, each with a distinctive design.

This is the ultimate win-win. You get an attractive luggage tag with a colorful Guatemalan design -- each one is different and distinctive -- and your purchase helps support indigenous Mayan women.

Here is a little more about Maya Works:

MayaWorks markets the work of Maya artisans who otherwise have no outlet for their handiwork. As a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation, MayaWorks pays artisans at prices they set, provides technical assistance and educational opportunities and meets other Fair Trade criteria.

MayaWorks is also much more than just an outlet for Mayan products. MayaWorks believes that community development happens through the economic development of women who otherwise have limited ways to participate or contribute to the economic stability of their families. Giving women an opportunity to earn an income from their skills gives them self-confidence and hope for themselves, their children, their family and their village.

And you can watch more about the women who make the luggage tags and Maya Works, interweaving lives, by watching this short online documentary.

In the coming months, BuzzFlash will be expanding its Fair Trade products, so that you can help improve the standard of leaving of those in economic need around the world. Many of these projects specifically benefit women eager to improve their lives, as does Maya Works.
