The Guatemala group spent Monday (March 2, 2015) in the rural community Union Victoria. The community members there are displaced indigenous Ixil who continue to recover from the war that persisted through the 1980-90’s. The Ixil leaders spoke to the group about their history and their current needs and issues. 
Later in the morning the group worked side-by-side community members in painting their community center. The community later provided a traditional lunch of tomales and chicken soup.
