I would like to comeback to Guatemala, I went there about a month ago, and a fall in love from that country and the people. Guatemala is a country with about a 70% of indigenous people, and it’s very poor, they have a big rate of undernourishment, illiteracy and crimes. Even that, they have many things more advanced than us, an example is the university education, they have a state university called “Universidad San Marcos”, the oldest University in Latin America and it’s free, they only pay a registration ($80 Quetzales) it’s about US$13. I could to know just a couple of places the last time I was there, and I know there are a lot of beautiful places, so, I would like to know archaeological places like “Tikal” and its giants Mayan pyramids, the Atitlán lake and the villages and volcanoes around it, the craniums with jade teeth in the archaeological museum and the famous Mayan city “Kaminaljuyú”. But I actually would like to live and work there, because they have the FAFG (Fundación de Antropología Forense de Guatemala), a foundation with really good technology and resources to investigate the cases of violence in the armed conflict of that country, and as I want to dedicate my life to work in cases of violation of Human rights, there is the perfect place to do that and learn a lot, also the people who works in the foundation is great, they are like a family, and everybody love what they do in spite that their life are in danger (because the people who participated in the dictatorship are still in the government and they have the politic and economic control, and many power in the country).
