Guatemala Ciudad

Karen continues to tell me stories of her experiences at the school she is volunteering at.
  • There seems to be more and more rats everywhere. And they are huge.
  • More and more street people, sitting on the curves inhaling glue or drinking.
  • A body of a child was just found in a garbage bag in the dump next to the school.

She has so many more stories, but the reality is that we are both lucky to be in one of the "wealthier" spots in Guatemala.

This Country is extremely poor.
