San Cristobal Verapaz
October 21 – 24 2024

Shear Advantage made some amazing connections this past trip to Guatemala.

Shear Advantage’s first workshop was held in the town of San Cristóbal Verapaz, in partnership with Casa Sito. San Cristóbal is a 5-hour drive from the city and has a population of around 20,000. We had a group of 11 students, all eager to learn a new skill to help support themselves and their families. Casa Sito is an organization that offers programs focused on youth development as well as support for parents. All the participants in our workshop this year either have children in the youth development programs or have personally participated in them. The age range of our students was from 17 years old to a grandmother, all of whom were looking to learn skills that could help support their families. Here are some pictures from the week.
