Stories of crisis. Stories of hope.

 

This website is the centerpiece of a storytelling class at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut. The program’s fourth cohort traveled to Guatemala in March 2024 to conduct interviews and learn the stories of the people of San Lucas Tolimán, a municipality on the shores of Lake Atitlán in the country’s southwestern highlands. Through the links below and via the Guatemala 2024 tab, you’ll find stories highlighting the lives of the people of San Lucas.
