In May, we were excited to host a group of MCC staff from Latin America and Canada for the Mining Justice Learning Tour, part of MCC Canada's Mining Justice Campaign
http://ottawa.mcc.org/miningjustice
We learned and saw A LOT, not only about the mine and the impact it is having in the area of San Marcos, but also about the exciting alternatives to the mine that MCC and many others are helping support.
La Mina:
Alternativas:
trout ponds in La Vega del Volcan
visit to CALAS, local organization working on legal matters related to the mine and other environmental issues
meeting with a community group in San Miguel Ixtahuacan where the mine is located
flower green house in Nuevas Maravillas
good friends, Juan Pablo and family in their home village of Jalu
hearing the stories of women who are part of a coffee producers cooperative in Sipacapa, near the mine
"MCC is no expert on mining. However, our partners here in Canada and around the world tell us that the practices of Canadian mining companies are contributing to their suffering. They remind us that we are part of the problem. MCC does not have the answers but we commit ourselves to a journey for mining justice."
