The Maya Initiative

Our Merriest Christmas Market Yet

Maya's Christmas Market never looked so good. The amount of work that the Peeteli kids and staff did to prepare cookies, jam, roasted almonds, Christmas cards, and ornaments was very evident in the great-looking products and the booth that could have been a department store on le Boulevard Haussmann in Paris. (Slight exaggeration, but it was amazing.) Hats off to Peeteli! And the kids were dazzlingly good when it came to keeping track of sales. This was, in part, thanks to the app that enables even the youngest kids to ring up a sale.
