Led by Jeovany Tut Rodriguez, in charge of the biological station Las Guacamayas, a group of fifteen Mayan artists Q' eqchi, from eleven to twenty years old, puts a lot into an educational project. Together, they create the organization OJAQ, which objective is to offer to the young people opportunities of future and to improve the living conditions of the community.
