MayaKiche Photo Album

It is a pleasure to be able to share with our web readers some of our events and activities captured in pictures. We decided to open an album with Flickr because of its ease to use and to maintain. Below is the link to our album in Flickr:

Response to ICE op-ed of 6 March 08

The recent popularity of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, along with the enduring presence of books by Lewis Carroll and C.S. Lewis, reminds us that fantasy is a healthy and normative literary genre for our young people. Sadly, when some use this mode to defend an atrocious act perpetrated by an organization or, worse yet, a government, adults of sound mind must object to this misappropriation of a literary technique. On behalf of the Central American community of New Bedford, in particular those families affected by the egregious acts against and systematic mistreatments of detainees by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on 6th March 2007 and during the past year, let me list below some examples to show that this raid nothing to do with humanitarian principles or concepts.
