Announcing New Advocacy Guide

Many of you are aware of this new resource, but if you aren't or you haven't taken the time to read through it, we would like to share the MCC Guatemala/El Salvador Advocacy Guide with you.  This collaborative effort between various MCC team members has been in the works for many months, and referenced in a variety of past posts both here and here.  Out hope is that this guide serves as a learning and resource tool as you continue to be challenged by your experience in Guatemala and El Salvador.  We look forward to hearing your feedback and ways in which you are able to use this great resource.
