We will have 3 women from Qachuu Aloom joining us to share their stories and skills in tamale making.   In Guatemala, tamales are usually made with dough and filled with pork, chicken or vegetables, then wrapped in banana leaves. Traditionally, communities get together to make tamales for special events such as weddings, birthdays and other celebrations.  When communities come together to make tamales, they create space to share stories, teach the youth, and pass down knowledge and other cultural practices.

We’ll also share updates from our project in Guatemala.  Valentina and Olga are in New Mexico for the month of July as part of a traditional healers exchange at UNM.  They are representing our Maternal Health and Nutrition project in Guatemala.  Please join us!  Nos vemos!
