and then i remembered
A childhood friend of mine did a PhD on pre-Columbian Mesoamerican art and architecture and spent some time learning Yucatec - so I forwarded her the RAICES Texas volunteer-seeking message where they need people who can translate indigenous languages. She may not be able to do much herself, but in turn she may know people who can help more.
I sent that message with no preamble, by the way. Friend I haven't seen or been in touch with in more than a year, and I didn't need so much as "Of course you'll have heard" or anything of the kind. Out of a blue sky I said "Hang on, didn't you study Yucatec? Look, RAICES needs volunteers."
Trying to do more.
