Conexión Guatemala

Conexión Guatemala is a group of Nashville churches, schools, private organizations, and individuals with connections to Guatemala. Conexión Guatemala began with discussions between the Shalom Foundation, Children’s Hospital, and Vanderbilt’s Center for Latin American Studies, all of which have active ongoing projects in Guatemala. Thus, Conexión Guatemala was born of our desire to get Nashvillians together in an informal setting, without a rigid agenda, to share what we are doing in Guatemala, talk about the problems and possibilities facing the country, and to learn from one another.
