The
Village
San Antonio La Nueva Esperanza was formed in the aftermath of Guatemala’s
brutal 34-year civil war that left more than 150,000 dead, 50,000 missing,
one million internally displaced, and 100,000 refugees. Three out of every
four victims in the war were indigenous people.
In 1998, approximately 200 families were relocated to this newly created
village, where they make a living as subsistence farmers. The location
is extremely rural, with no roads, no reliable access to electricity or
health care.
Village
of Hope
Nonp
The
village name translates to the Village of New Hope - we are trying to
create hope and freedom for a new generation in Guatemala.
Never
forget,
"A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed,
it's
the only thing that ever has."
–Margaret Meade
