...worth the inconvenience. The 96 families there are members of Las Abejas (the Bees), a lay Catholic group that was the target of an infamous 1997 massacre by paramilitaries in nearby Acteal. Amid clucking chickens and barefoot children, they welcomed the tourists with candles, incense and an hour-long prayer ceremony in Tzotzil. Agustin Vazquez, 34, a coffee farmer, told how he heard shots during the massacre, ran to Acteal and found pools of blood everywhere--and his niece and her three children among the dead. He thanked Global Exchange for its contributions to the village--800 pesos...
