UPAVIM President Dina Velásquez gave us an update over Zoom about how the cooperative and community center based in urban Guatemala is weathering the pandemic. Dina also shared her thoughts on solidarity and faith in the pandemic.

Dina is a founding member and long-time leader within both UPAVIM and Sister Parish. We are grateful she was able to share with us over Zoom. For more information about you can visit the UPAVIM website and/or support the community center by shopping for masks and other beautiful crafts.
