1. It's doubtful almost all U.S. Americans realized this problem exists in Guatemala!

What little has been available here has usually concerned the endangered lives of the citizens who have toiled under desperate circumstances producing agricultural items for U.S. American tables, all these long years.

Some U.S. Americans have been aware of grotesque sweatshop conditions in Honduras, also for U.S. customers' special shopping pleasures.

It really is important to learn this has also been happening in Guatemala, and it's tremendous you caught this information and shared it.

Guatemala has suffered so intensely officially since the US under Eisenhower overthrew the democratically elected President Jacobo Arbenz, and bled, and grieved throughout decimation of hundreds of thousands of Guatemalans in the years following.

It's about time the Americas caught a break, isn't it? Guatemalan citizens have lived in pain so long, so that thoughtless, greedy people could get their soft, pudgy, thin-skinned hands on more money, and continue their lifelong waddle toward greater and greater wealth.
