On January 14, 2012, our Guatemala delegation spent the morning visiting our partner ACG - Guatemalan Cultural Action. We travelled by pickup truck to a nearby community and had a conversation with a women's micro-credit group. Each of us in turn introduced ourselves and each of them in turn introduced themselves and told us about their particular project, and how they were using the loaned money. It was inspiring. Pictured above are the women of the cooperative.
We then went back to the center and visited with the staff. It is a difficult period for their work. The international economic downturn has affected gifts to international NGOs also. They are trying to determine how to continue to do quality work with diminished resources.
