Introduce Guatemala to Western Anxiety and our hamster wheel workaholic system.

Guatemala is so beautiful, rich, unique and magical. God bless

Is so beautiful and rich the United Kingdom of Guatemala established since 1609 and that extends from El Soconusco (today Chiapas) to part of Panama. Guatemala is 12th producer of silver in the world and 20th producer of gold besides having massive reserves of nickel, jade and so many other natural resources too bad for almost a century big foreign multinational corporations have been taking most of it. The Malvinas belong to Argentina, The Esequibo belongs to Venezuela and Belice belongs to Guatemala.

Bro. you are an excellent actor!!!

Tomorrow I will move with my family to Guatemala.Excellent!

Wtf this is not reality of Guatemala. This man has rotten bananas and a cart of milk? Many ppl have a stove and the fruit is fresh and fresh milk. I hate when a white man wants to only show the most poverty of my country. Also, many people do work and live in a decent home..what Guatemalans eat meat too not beans..moron!

🇬🇹👍👍

How can people help...retirees teaching English ? Bringing computers ? I mean, I know we can but food but it does go back to buying fish or teaching someone to fish, right ? My wife grew up in a similar fashion in Nicaragua so we ask these questions out of love.

We retire in 3 years and we will very likely still have a couple senior dogs, so we will likely travel around Mexico ( SE Asia later after the furbabies have passed away ). Two places on our list are near the Guatemala border in the state of Chiapas ( san Cristobal and Comitan ) so we hope to visit a couple areas in Guatemala, like Lake Atitlan and Antigua. We are excited....hoping 3 years passes quickly. We’ll be 62 and 57. We speak Spanish and have lived abroad before. Thoughts on those two areas ? Thx !

It is startling how little many poor Guatemalan families have to live on. They suffer from hunger, poor education, exploitation, and poor health. Is it any wonder that some risk life and limb to get to the USA? In my opinion, it is far easier and cheaper for the USA to help these people in Guatemala than it is to pay for elaborate border control regimes which only enrich "coyotes." We in the USA have created some of the conditions--like climate change, which is hitting Central America especially hard, and our demand for cheap coffee and bananas--which are pushing these people to the breaking point.

Well that's it's just for the very poor people ,but for the most part we all live very good .

Good introduction to the American welfare system to other countries. Help them fix their country so they can live healthier lives in their own country.

Medical doctors count ridiculous prices. Medicines are far too expensive, and made in Guatemala. All is far too expensive

Good job guys, thank you for helpping those people in extremely poor... cos. In Guatemala. There are two kind of poor people. The regular poor people and the extremely poor.. just to clarify... and you guys are talking about extremely poor people.

How can we help who are the sponsors...Thank you for your love and tender care to the Guatemalan vomunities

Talk to me about Guatemala again when you learn to pronounce plantains

Guatemala is a food forest like many other Latin American nations...something is not right about this video.

Oh by the way, are you two christian missionaries? You must be

Hooray for MJ Cuba and J Garcia who made real and helpful sense here

What about the rent?..

enjoy your beens and tortillas lol xoxo nice video!

You're kinda a dick head, probably wrong on most of this...(edit) definitely a dick and wrong...most Guatemalans eat one meal a day??? Maybe not eat tomorrow??? Hmmm well my wife tells me her family eats 3 square meals a day...yeah dude you just going off maybe a few people live

Grifters

FIRST A DISCLAIMER: I do not know the people who posted this so what I am saying below is in GENERAL after spending decades in Guatemala off and on. So many Americans, Canadians and Europeans come to Guatemala to run non-profit organizations some shoestring operations, some well organized and funded, often through church missions etc. We have had MANY friends who were involved and /or employed by such organizations. The number of scams though,are simply incredible.The number of horror stories of places founded by pedophiles or just plain scammers , are rife. It is a virtual industry and some cater to poverty tourism...people who MEAN well, coming to see poor people and help them for a week or whatever. The very first place we saw as we arrived by boat in the RIo Dulce was a beautiful LARGE home with dock and large new pricey power boat sitting very close to a concrete block "missionary " church. We learned that this was a scam. I am certain the donors back in the USA got photos of the church and people who went to that church, but NOT of the fancy house and dock and boat. Next we were told about another long standing so called local charity that had been there a long time (we came in our boat in 1999), more than one just in tiny Rio Dulce in 1997! Then in Antigua we met and saw all the NGO people, dozens and dozens maybe a hundred people, making there living doing this there in total, who knows? Some were foreign govt sponsored personnel drawing very high salaries sitting on their fannies in very expensive apts in Antigua, driving large SUV type vehicles supposedly "helping" the rural poor, but actually sitting inside their apts on the internet all day fundraising, writing reports etc ( this I saw with my own eyes as a neighbor of one such parasite) who rarely left her apt. only going out to the hinterlands when some big shot from the USA, Canada, or whichever European country (I know, but am not saying)came to the airport where they were met and taken around, The number of what I would consider legitimate charities or people running such organizations I can count on one possibly two hands out of the at least HUNDRED I have known personally or on good authority over the years. These scams infuriate locals in the know..others who aren't in the know, mostly the poor, are happy to take whatever little scraps the gringo poverty scammers want to throw them, but laugh at them behind their backs (how do I know? Well bec I have KNOWN these poor recipients as well , who took the handouts, one saying to me hey there is XYZ available at so and so you should go get some)!

Most of the Guatemalan poor...not the landless poorest of the poor but poor..more average poor, live like this: they have inherited land and a house of some material..a small one , sometimes not out of concrete but eventually out of concrete saved block by block til they have enough block and rebar to make one. They do not pay rent, they do pay annual property tax which costs MAYBE as much as $5 per month. THey also have additional land either their own or "borrowed" or sometimes rented for little to grow a milpa: corn and beans mixed...usually they have enough they grow themselves for their family for the year bec Guatemala has more than one growing season per year. There no longer is an inscription fee in Guatemala for public school...eliminated maybe 7 yrs ago which is a HUGE help. Some schools req uniforms which DO cost usually they have those made. Some rural schools do not require this. Maybe $100 for those who need unifirms and the required tennis shoes ad uniform for sport for it all. THen they DO have to pay for a large list of school supplies in Jan about $100 or slightly more per child that is what costs..Most children ARE going to school now until they finish primaria...many go through basico the equivalent of US jr high school. To go to high school that is private school and is NOT free. THis was the system in the USA until about the 1940s too and 8th grade education was normal in the USA. Legal working age in GUatemala is 14. SOme children in rural tourist areas are put to work much younger to sell trinkets to tourists esp the Lake Atitlan area...this is becoming less common in the Antigua area than it was even a decade ago. If a male teen of 14 can get a job (sweeping in a carpentry shop, working at whatever on a finca etc etc ) they are put to work to bring in cash income in the poor social class. Does this mean they are STRUCK forever supporting their younger brothers and sisters? Not necessarily. Many learn trades as apprentices and slowly move up the ladder.Social mobility up the ladder is not at all uncommon, nor is mobility down when the father drinks heavily. THAT is the number one loss of income to a family. The Guatemalan diet is rapidly changing for the WORSE. Many people keep chickens for eggs for a daily source of protein, then they eat beans and corn tortillas, tamales, etc. THey eat chicken when they can. Most have used fruit as their treat even the poor, bananas, sandia, melon in season etc in small portions when there are many children, but they have had fruit. Family size is shifting steadily downward from an average of 10 to 12 children to many fewer today. Most middle class families limit their number of children to two just like Americans. Now however, there is a craving for junk food little bags of chips and candy and soft drinks with sugar where as before fruit juice was the sweet drink. The sugary diet is leading to Obesity EVEN IN CHIDREN AND SPIKING THE rate of diabetes dramatically.

it could sound kinda exagerated the way you talk about the financial situation here in my country Guatemala, but believe it or not there are plenty of families that really live in this level of extremely poverty

But YOU are talking of people won lives on an extreeme poorness, mi, and many families dont lives like that so I think you aint objective. We do use gas and live in concret houses etc. But its ok YOU do your research on a part of the population and Drake the time. Sorry My English.

😔😔😔😔😔

I am sorry but what you show isn´t a home but a shed in a slum build on abandoned land and then invaded without any infrastructure like almost all poor country around the world, specially in latin america. I live at one of that "poor' countries what isn´t correct to say. They are rich, very rich but governade by corrupt politicians "blessed" by US and European countries in order to seel to then commodities at a price well below the market to supply their industries.

Most people make their own tortillas though. It is much cheaper

great video,it must be another dictator running that country

What's your point Sr

Homeschool and you save 100 Q and that will provide 3 meals per day for the month. A vegan diet is proven to be better than any other diet, eliminate the milk and all dairy products, teach people how intermittent fasting as a daily routine, and water fasting to fight all types of illness, teach them to eat a plant based wholefoods diet less dairy products that create fungus in the body, and teach them how how alkaline vs Acidic foods affect health. Teach them that the soil has all the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that the body needs. Teach them have a personal relationship with God through Christ, how to read scripture, pray, and worship the God of the bible, and God will prosper them and Bless there country as well. Good luck and God Bless.

Love tortillas made by hand and love 😄 And I"m Puerto Rican 🕊

Thank you for the explanation of what the people in need in my country are going thru 😢

Thank you for helping my people. Great explanation of Guatemala's poor lifestyle, wich unfortunately is the lifestyle of the majority of our people.
