There are also three assembly plants producing denim jeans for companies based in the United States. The village offers a quiet way of life, where it is not uncommon to find men on horseback, a donkey walking down the street to deliver the milk, or a loose goat wandering along the street. The families of Buenavista are warm and friendly to Cemanahuac students and they always have time to chat with students in the village square. Family homes where students stay are comfortable with all the conveniences one might find in a city home. All meals are provided.
All homes are within easy walking distance of the school.
The Program at Buenavista features the same high quality languages classes as those offered in our Cuernavaca program. Language classes meet for four hours each weekday in the small schoolhouse and its gardens. The same text books used in Cuernavaca are used in Buena Vista, making it easy to transfer from one to the other. Arts and Crafts Workshops Folk crafts play an important role in the economy of a village. At no extra charge, students are invited to attend workshops with local artisans who will demonstrate and teach their crafts.
