Connect with union and community organizers from the US and Guatemala. Study Spanish. Meet pioneering women leaders and learn how you can take part in the struggle for global economic justice. Join us on the next STITCH Women's Language School Delegation! The STITCH women's delegation combines excellent Spanish instruction with an in-depth look at the economic situation facing women workers in the Guatemalan maquila and banana sectors, and how they and their unions are organizing for change.
NOTE: The 2009 delegation has been postponed. Please stay tuned for the new dates!
