The city of Xela (shayla) claims to be at the heart of everything Maya. The region is beautiful in its diversity, a theme that carries over in the work of a private orphanage there.
The story of Ceracaif (Home of Refuge) came into being when Ciro and Maria Teresa Murguia retired, bought land in Guatemala's western highlands, a coffee-growing region. They built a building, and took in abandoned children who had nowhere else to go. Today, the team cares for 60 to 70 children, ages 3 and up.
