Cloudforest Initiatives is a small group of people committed to assisting and supporting the efforts for peace, justice and integral development of the Maya communities of Chiapas. Cloudforest Initiatives organizes travel seminars for people who wish to learn more about the Mayan people and their culture. Programs include language study, housing with a Mexican family, and a chance to explore and reflect on the movement for democratic transformation and civil rights in southern Mexico. Cloudforest Initiatives also offers volunteers the chance to live in a Tzotzil Maya community in the highlands of Chiapas, to share daily life, and work with the community in construction or other labor. In addition, Cloudforest Initiatives publishes a bi-monthly newsletter, utopias, with analysis of the ever-changing political situation in Mexico and first hand testimonies from members of the Chiapas communities. They produced and distribute the English version of the highly acclaimed documentary Victims of the War in Chiapas.
