During our last field visit to Guatemala’s Dry Corridor region, we climbed mountains in a four-wheel drive through a dry, dusty and rocky road. After an hour we arrived at the Pitahaya Community in Aldea Nearar at Camotán, Chiquimula (eastern Guatemala). We found ourselves walking in the middle of a beautiful, young, green forest, with a big group of motivated and empowered group of Chorti indigenous peoples, mostly women. We breathed positivity and empowerment in a land that is known for hunger and extreme poverty. What a moment of a lifetime!
