Guajoyo by Gustavo / Guajoyo por Gustavo

(EN ESPAÑOL ABAJO)

 

Last weekend the Austin committee visited its sister comunity, Guajoyo, in San Vicente.
There we had an exchange with two members of the community Santa Monica, organized by CRIPDES regional office in San Vicente, to learn about their experience with water projects and handling its scarcity. New visitors got to meet the local projects and structures and also had a first-hand experience of the effects of climate change: the water spring is drying out and the area around the spring was so dry that it was susceptible to small wildfires spreading with the wind.

 

But even though we witnessed the harships Guajoyo is facing, we also got to see the strength and perseverence of its people and, as if that were not enough, we had the company of Gustavo once again. This time Gustavo held to Sister Cities’ camera for a long time. It was interesting to see the things he found important. We invite you to have a good time looking at some of the photos he took.

El fin de semana pasado el comité de Austin visitó su comunidad hermana, Guajoyo, en San Vicente.
Ahí tuvimos un intercambio con dos integrantes de las comunidad Santa Mónica organizado por CRIPDES San Vicente para aprender de su experiencia con los proyectos de agua y lidiar con su escasez. Las nuevas visitas pudieron conocer los proyectos y estructuras locales, además de tener un encuentro de primera mano con los efectos del cambio climático: la fuente se está secando y el área a su alrededor estaba tan seca que se encontraba susceptible a pequeños fuegos que el viento esparcía.

 

Pero, a pesar de haber visto las dificultades que enfrenta Guajoyo, también pudimos ver la fuerza y perseverancia de su gente y, por si fuera poco, tuvimos otra vez la compañía de Gustavo. Esta vez él se quedó con la cámara de Ciudades Hermanas por mucho tiempo. Fue interesante ver las cosas que él consideró importantes. Les invitamos a pasar un buen momento viendo algunas de las fotos que tomó.
