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
