Maria Candelaria Choc, an 82-year old woman with serious health challenges, received much-needed medical support from CHOICE Humanitarian. After attending a mobile medical clinic, CHOICE's medical team stabilized her physical condition and provided her with necessary medication. Since it's near-impossible to quickly access healthcare in rural communities, this intervention made all the difference in the world to Maria.

Using Economic Development for Dreams

For rural communities in Atlta Verapaz, CHOICE Humanitarian is helping provide hope where there is very little right now so they can change the way they live. 

THIS MONTH'S CULTURE FACT

Cultural exchange is a core part of CHOICE's philosophy. When people of different backgrounds come together to exchange ideas, experiences, perspectives, and knowledge, the world becomes a more connected place. These authentic and meaningful interactions can generate empathy and foster open-mindedness.

Indigenous Cultures

Holy Week

Guatemala is a culturally rich country, divided up into “departments”.

In the departments of Alta Verapaz where CHOICE Humanitarian works, the majority of inhabitants are of indigenous origin, comprised of the Q'eqchi', Poqomchi' and Achi ethnic groups.

There, they have patron saint festivities that include theatrical dances, markets, food, games and religious ceremonies.
