Breaking the Silence “Alumni” Delegation to Guatemala – Deepening and Strengthening Relationships 2015

Join a delegation that will explore history, human rights and social justice in Guatemala. A challenging and rewarding opportunity to learn more and deepen relationships with Guatemalan friends and partners.
This delegation is open to those who have already been to Guatemala and are connected with Breaking the Silence.
We will visit with our partners in Rabinal, San Lucas Toliman, and Chimaltenango, meet with community members affected by Canadian mining companies, participate in the International Women’s Day March in Guatemala City, and be present in Rio Negro for the 33nd anniversary of the massacre of March 13 which claimed the lives of over 175 women and children. This is an opportunity for BTS “alumni” to reconnect, to reflect, and to deepen our learnings around what it means to be in solidarity.
Space is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis so apply now!
