Item Description
Oil, 11x14 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.5 inches deep (no frame required)
Guatemala is the most populous country in Central America and its people are proud of their shared Mayan heritage and their diversity, with over 24 indigenous languages.
The country is known for its lush vegetation, mountains and lakes but still, basic necessities are lacking, especially in rural areas. Clean, drinkable water is one of them. Every day, women and girls walk an average of 3 miles or 5 kilometers to collect water which is often contaminated. This is the case in many countries of the world from Africa to South America.
Artist's Note:
Here we see a mother's resilience and commitment to caring for her family - the mother assuming a striking and statuesque pose as she carries a heavy load, juxtaposed with the playfulness of her baby angling for a view of what's ahead.
Item Special Note
Hearts & Homes for Refugees' Note:
Juana*, from Guatemala, lost her job when the pandemic hit, and has slowly found back-up work as a housekeeper. She is the sole caregiver for her four sons, and has been deeply grateful for the assistance provided through the Hearts & Homes for Refugees 'Helping Hands' program. Since the volunteer team's commitment ended, lead volunteer Marti has continued to send a Sunday chicken dinner to the family once a month.
*Name has been changed to protect the family's privacy.
Delivery within Westchester County provided. Shipping will be additional.
