Mothers en la Lucha

LAGO DE ATITLAN, Guatemala-- Strong, warrior women surrounded the Highlands of Guatemala. We were fortunate enough to visit these indigenous communities along the Lake of Atitlan, with its breathtaking volcanoes perfectly visible from almost all points of the villages. In our visit there, I couldn't help but notice that these fierce women, struggling every day to survive, were also soft and tender-- they way only a mother could be.
