Biden s Compassion Matters to World s Poor Details VIEW FROM HERE-While President Trump pouts and plots, and President-elect Biden anticipates and appoints, there is an October news clipping from Sonia Perez of the Associated Press that I have not been able to get out of my head. Tucked in a small corner on page 6 of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, it was a story that got completely buried in the deluge of information that worries most Americans. In her piece, Perez called attention to hundreds of migrants heading to the United States, reporting that they were hoarded on trucks by the army and bused back to Honduras after reaching Poptun, Guatemala. Not surprisingly, the Guatemalan president contended that they were a contagion risk amid the coronavirus pandemic. ....

Sarasota nonprofit UnidosNow celebrates 10th anniversary Organization provides immigrant families, especially students, with tools for success Luz Corcuera knew she made the right decision in joining the UnidosNow team when a student in her program, Celia, was accepted into the college she desired. Celia’s father was deported to Guatemala when she was just 16 years old. Her mother expressed unhealthy behavior, so Celia ended up in foster care until her grandmother could obtain custody of her in Sarasota. Celia’s grandmother had heard about UnidosNow, and brought Celia to them, saying, “My granddaughter is smart, she can go places.” “She was right,” says Corcuera. ....
January/February 2021 To the Maya people living in the city of Xultun in Guatemala’s Petén rain forest, a sweat bath was a sacred place symbolizing the circular nature of time and the cycle of birth and death. In excavations of Xultun’s sweat bath over the past decade, archaeologist Mary Clarke of Boston University has found that the building is painted with images of a goddess who has the features of toads and iguanas. A person entering and leaving the sweat bath, Clarke says, would have metaphorically passed through the body of the goddess in an act of death and rebirth.

Clarke has unearthed a large cache of offerings to the goddess, including toad and iguana carcasses, the ....
