Invitada a GUATEMALA
Julio 16 al 23, 2003
Washington, DC, July 25, 2003
I just returned home from my working-visit to Guatemala.
The
Guatemalan Indigenous Communities ACADEC and others invited Americas Global
Foundation (AGF) to visit their
Communities July 17 to the 23, 2003.
AGF has been working with these and other Guatemalan NGO organizations since
2001.
The visit included an intense agenda each and every day, some days starting as
early as 2:00 AM to travel to some far away communities and returning the same
day to our base in Chimaltenango.
The purpose of AGF's Guatemala visit was several fold, as it is typical of all
our visits to Latin America and other countries:
1. To see firsthand the conditions, infrastructure, limitations, and resources
of various Guatemalan Indigenous Communities and to determine other challenges
and opportunities
2. To meet with Guatemalan Indigenous Community Leaders, and their constituents;
to meet with US Embassy officials (Ambassador, Consul General, etc.), Guatemalan
government officials, universities, entrepreneurs, and others; as well as
interviews with the media and press conferences
3. To start offering specific solutions to some of the major challenges facing
those Guatemalan Indigenous Communities; including housing, education, job and
business creation training, increasing their productivity; educational/ economic
and civic-political empowerment.
4. To present some of AGF's and ALTEX' programs and services and to encourage
Mayors and other Government officials, Guatemalan Indigenous leaders,
professionals, entrepreneurs, journalists, university students to participate in
some of them, such as: our Come to Washington! "Empowerment - Agents of Change"
Training and Leadership Development; other Workshops and Training; Bringing
Temporary Workers and Interns to Washington and other cities; Introducing the
new Debit Card that provides an effective answer to Guatemalans and others
Remesas or Remittances; our various other services including seeking and
securing funding for their projects, etc.
5. To evaluate establishing an AGF Chapter in Guatemala
The trip was a success in numerous ways. I will provide some details about the
exciting developments and opportunities to those of you who desire to join us to
get involved in the implementation of our goals not only in Guatemala but
throughout Latin America and of course here in the USA.
