Great article, especially the part about making a map and noticing the rivers and where people live...
I would love to include this on our new Lake Atitlan Directory wikispace page and facebook page we are starting. Please let me know if we can do so, including a link here and credit, of course. Perhaps you have other info you would like to contribute?
Thanks... Catherine Todd, catherinetodd2@gmail.com

Thanks, Alan V: Well said. I agree wholeheartedly with helping people to own and build their own houses. But how we go about it nowadays leaves a lot to be desired. I am trying to help create some disaster housing here in Panajachel, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala where I live part-time, and had just got here when Hurricane Agatha struck a few days ago. I emerged unscathed, but over 200 people are sleeping on the cold concrete floor of the local gymnasium. This includes women and children, who have lost everything, even their shoes.
What is the best way to go about helping to create disaster shelters? I have seen so much money wasted - by both sides - just a few years ago when Hurricane Stan hit, and it took YEARS for the area to recover. Now more, including a volcano explosion, just four years later. Anyone have any ideas?
I've also written to Global Village Shelters, and am hoping they will reply. www.gvshelters.com
