Who

In Guatemala, teams are formed to work on constructing these giant kites that are to be flown. Typically there are six to eight people who work on the kite. Family and friends come together, usually in September, to begin the task of kite building. The groups show off their kites during the festivals and compete to see who has the best kite. Trophies are often given out and there are even competitions for children to participate in with smaller kites.

In our group there are four of us working on the project: Tessa, Zack, Clare and Anna. We have been collaborating and working quite efficiently together. We all have been providing the various materials needed to build our kite and have each been contributing our own creative aspects to make the kite unique.
