My objective is to introduce readers to some of the Guatemalans that I have met over the years. Humble, sweet, friendly, smiling, hardworking just trying to get by in a country where poverty, inequality, lack of opportunity and corruption are rampant. Yet still they smile. My hope is to profile one person each month so please subscribe (you can do so for free, “no pledge’) so that you will receive each post.
