Volcan Fuego


Hello Everyone, friends and donors,

A week ago  the Volcano "Fuego" erupted outside of Antigua; the worst devastation includes El Rodeo, Alotenango and San Miguel los Lotes, all towns around Antigua. Other towns are still inaccessible due to lava. More Videos: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-44350974

This volcano has caused considerable damage, and the death count is, last I read, about 200 and probably climbing. 

The Lake Atitlán region is several hours drive from Antigua and was fortunately not affected. Our community of San Antonio Palopó has been most fortunate.  We mourn the loss of life and livelihoods for many Antigua-area residents; we ask that you keep Guatemala in your thoughts.
Warm regards from all the Guatemala team.
