Dear Gordon -
If you can get to the Lago Atitlan there is a very well known town on
the other side of the lake called Santiago Atitlan where there was a
famous massacre in the early 80's - (there are some pics of the massacre
at the URL:
http://webusers.anet-dfw.com/~vinnie/index.html

Since then they have ousted the military - they are known for not
allowing any outside influence, including the military, to come into
their town since that day.
they have a local radio station called Voz d'Atitlan.  It broadcasts in
Spanish and also in the local idioma Tzu-tuhil. I was recently informed
that they are a member of AMARC as well.
I am promoting access to visual communications here and often have an
opportunity to talk with them. Since they have no e-mail there, perhaps
I can help you communicate with them if you like.

They do have a phone number as well that probably can be called directly
during business hours.  Try (502) 721-7143
ask for Juan Diego and tell him that Padma recommended him ... in
Spanish of course :-)

Please look at my web-site - we have a video/internet project here - I
would like to invite you to spend a couple of days in this area when you
are in guatemala.
Saludos
Padma
