Meetings in Guatemala

After spending a couple of days in Honduras, Courtney and I have begun the Guatemala portion of our travels in Central America.

Today was filled with meetings in Guatemala City. We participated in the first committee meeting to follow up on the Corporate Social Responsibility Conference held here earlier this year. It was exciting to see the commitment and innovation the industry has brought to solving the challenge of malnutrition in Guatemala.

As in Honduras, our work in Guatemala is focused on school nutrition and micro-enterprise development, as well as nutrition support with a local pediatrics association. The projects we are involved in here are in conjunction with the Illinois Soybean Association, WISHH, Cargill, and CARE.

Warmest regards,

Bridget
