Thanks for sharing. I'm very impressed that Whole Foods is working with the indigenous communities of Guatemala. The Mayans are very talented, happy and loving people.

What a great program, Grameen Guatemala. And I love the concept you expressed so well: "We need to build bridges, not walls. Bridges to span the gaps in opportunity. Education bridges. Economic bridges. Community bridges. Bridges leading to the fulfillment of dreams. These bridges need not cross borders; they span cultures, communities, families, hearts and minds." Well said, Alex.

Microloans have made a huge impact in so many third-world countries, but volunteers like yourself add the element of human interaction that is the best tool for breaking down borders. Thanks for a great article, and keep up the good work. You really can change the world. How thrilling to see such passion and commitment from such a young man.
