In this episode Jessica Marshall from the Goddess Temple in San Marcos Guatemala steps up to learn more about what makes Guatemala "the heart of the Mayan world." Here we meet Suhan Badalamenti one of the instrumental leaders in the Forest Family Foundation making a true impact of San Marcos, Lake Atitlan, and as a result Guatemala. Current the Foundation supports education through the Pedro Molino Pubic School, empowers women through the support of Luna K’aqchikel women’s weaving collective, the local fisherman Organization, RUKUX CHUPUP, Heart of Tul, in order to promote lake health awareness and continue their efforts to plant Tul around the shores of the Lake, and Mayan Ancestral Heritage Project preserving the customs of ceremony and maintaining spiritual altars. This dialogue is exactly what we envisioned when we first thought of IMPACT and are so thrilled to highlight Suhan and the Forest Family Foundation as well as grateful for Jessica and her ongoing belief and dedication to preserving and protecting the local heritage in Guatemala.
