These woman have to walk 5 miles twice a day for their watersupply... The bread made by the volontair was been eaten by the men.. later on the women told us that that was for the good luck from these foreigners.. Only in your dreams you can imagine that foreigners are entering your village and one week later your children are sitting in their village school ,no more walking for one and half mile.. and the volontairs.. believe me they had a good time too... Introduction Like those of the other Mayan tribes, Quiché traditions point to a northern or northeastern origin of the speakers, and their history goes back to about A. D. 700. They were subjugated by the Spanish conquistadors about 1525 and rapidly declined under the system of slavery and heavy tribute imposed on them. With close to a million speakers (about 7% of Guatemala's population), Quiché is the second most widely spoken language in the country after Spanish. There is substantial dialectal variation, and the main dialects are sometimes considered to be separate languages. However most speakers use Central Quiché, the variety the most commonly used in the media and education. Although it has no official status in Guatemala and the first-language literacy rate is low, it is being increasingly taught in schools and used on the radio.
