Mopan Mayan Village Cabanas
German Sho's Biography

I was much too young to remember moving to Na Luum Ca, I was only months old. But the freedom that I grew up with, seems like the whole big world was mine. After school me and my friends would go in the forest to climb trees and stone birds looking for eggs. Later on I started going to the milpa (milpa is a way of farming natural organic food, without chemicals) with my father and my older brothers. This would be a very exciting time for me. I would not have to stay home. I would be helping with the milpa.

My father is subsistence farmer, he would go to market and sell the surplus food. This money would be used to purchase things that were needed in our family home.
