Part 2: Land Conflict Mediation



This film by Nathan Golon for Mercy Corps looks at their work in land conflict mediation in Alta Verapaz. We've linked to Nathan's work before on this blog. It's great to see him continuing to document work and action in Guatemala. For more of his work- photography and video - check out his website.
View Article  "The Best Chocolate in the World": Mixco, Guatemala


This is one of many great clips posted by Lezue talking about the culture and history of different locations in Guatemala. This particular one is a series of eight clips on the story of the municipality of Mixco (in Spanish). Particular brilliant is the one on the famous chocolate of Mixco!

"Mixco tiene dentro de sus tradiciones la fabricacion del Chocolate. Para la elaboración de la bebida del chocolate, primero se corta la pocha que contiene las semillas de cacao, se extraen y se secan al sol, regadas éstas sobre un lienzo o sobre un pedazo de lámina de zinc.

Seguidamente, se tuestan en un comal de barro y cuando están bien doraditas se dejan enfriar, para luego triturarlas en una piedra de moler o metate. Finalmente se prepara el chocolate en un jarro o en una olla de barro."
