For the tech junkies among you, Xeni Jardin, co-editor of Boing Boing (one of the world's most popular blogs) is currently out and about and posting from Guatemala. She's been posting on an electic range of issues and topics, including: violence against women campaigning, filesharing in Guate, and making tortillas...
It's also worth flagging up the Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group who get a mention on Xeni's blog and Xela Teco which is "a new micro manufacturing enterprise concerned with the fabrication, installation and repair of low cost environmentaly sound infrastructure improvements. Xela Teco is located in Quetzaltenango Guatemala, and aims to serve NGOs and the general populace in the greater Quetzaltenango region".

Hiya, this is Cat Laine from the AIDG. I also would urge folks to look us up if they are in Xela. We always love the chance to tell people about the work that we are doing and about appropriate technology's potential for good. If people want to get a more intense experience, we also offer Tecotours (http://www.aidg.org/tecotours/) where volunteers get the opportunity to help with an outreach project as well as other great benefits.

Thanks Cat- I'll spread the word here. It would certainly be great to visit next time I'm in Xela!
