My Summer in Guatemala : Publicity, Sanik Presentation, and Cooking Dinner again!

In the morning we did publicity for our campaign saturday in the market of Panachel. We reached so many people and we hope our marketing turns into sales!

We then took a microbus to Triunfo where we were able to meet the weavers of Sanik. Juana, the regional coordinator/owner of Sanik had us over her house and cooked us lunch. We had friend chicken, rice and tortillas.

The bracelets I bought from Sanik!

After lunch and shopping we presented our work to the ladies of Sanik. Gabby made a lookbook of ideas and a poster for possible designs for them to implement that will help them reach more people in the states. Then I got to show the ladies the catalog I had designed and they were in aw. Juana thanked us with so much appreciation because she does not even know how to use a computer and the idea that the catalog is made is such an incredible feat. They also loved Gabby's suggestions and overall the presentation went really well!

We drank bags of agua pura

Showing them the catalog!

Our group with Juana!

When we returned from our presentation gabby and I went to the market to buy food to cook for our group tonight! Unfortunately we still have a few sickies so it was not the full group.

The menu:

Main Course: Mediterrenean Grilled Chicken

Garlic Grilled chicken topped with hearts of palm. olives, artichokes, red onions, and capers in balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Personally my favorite part of the meal very successful and delicious!

Side Dish 1: Avocado Quinoa salad

Quinoa with a lemon honey vinagarette with peas and Avocado- served hot

Did not turn out great...Quinoa is definitely better cold and the vinaigrette was not the greatest dressing

Side Dish 2: Guacamole and Chips

Guacamole made with avocadoes, tomatoes, onions with lime juice and salt-

The one from Saturday made by Katie was a bit better- but not bad

Side Dish 3: Roasted Butternut Squash

DELICIOUS
