2008 New Year Greetings from Nazaria Tum Sanic, international spokesperson for the CPR-Sierra (translated from Spanish):
 
  
Please accept warm greetings on my behalf. I hope that your activities are going well. All of us--those of us who work in the central office as well as those who workin the communities of the CPR-Sierra--are well. This year was very important for us: we formed alliances with organizations in the Ixil triangle area, as well as surpassed the first stage in the creation of women's leadership school in Santa Clara and Chajul. Our tour through your country was very important for education about our organization and for making new contacts with people.
  
I wish you a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year in 2008. Yourworkand support of the CPR are always with us.
  
Hugs to all of you,
Nazaria Tum Sanic
