The Indigenous People of Guatemala

 Alexandra Pedersen presented an excellent summary of her research work in Guatemala, dealing with the views of the indigenous people to the processes of "development with a North American twist".  She outlined some of the problems facing this country in Central America and looked especially at a number of areas including Canadian investment in Guatemala, femicide, agriculture and education.  Alex ended her inspring talk by noting that as Rotarians we could be of assistance - building schools, inquiring about our investments (and whether or not the mining companies have good relationships with indigenous people), and raising our own awareness of the role of multi-national corporations in developing nations...EXCELLENT Presentation...thanks, Alex.
