I will be leaving tomorrow morning for a week in Guatemala. Four other Pangea members are there now. Our first scheduled meeting is on Sunday with Annie Bird from Rights Action. Annie has lived in Guatemala for 12 years and will provide some context for the week ahead. Monday morning we meet our guide, Borys Chinchilla, and head Northeast toward Zacapa . Our first site visit will be with Commundich. Commundich has received two grants from Pangea. This year’s grant is a continuation of the previous year’s grant for “Including Youth in the Culture, Art and Technology of the Maya Ch”orti People”. I’m really excited to meet this group. We’ve had wonderful e-mail communication for the past 2 years.
More news to come once we’re there!
