This is my commute to work during the rainy season: 




This trip usually only takes one hour during the dry season but can take up to two and half when it rains. One interesting fact on Guatemalan culture is that when a car gets stuck the men pull with a rope and the women push to get the car free.

Here are some photos from the recent community workshop that I helped organize en my town. A total of 19 people received diplomas for attending all three days of the workshop. The workshop consisted of capacitating community members on how to make their own projects instead of having to depend on outside help most of the time. I consider it to have been a success and plan on having another workshop next week with social workers in our department´s capital.
