As part of its recently launched Mining Justice Campaign, the MCC Canada Ottawa Office is planning to coordinate a Learning Tour to Guatemala in the Spring of 2010.

This tour will give participants the opportunity to:
•    meet Guatemalan communities affected by Canadian mining operations,
•    learn about the impact of mining on Guatemala and alternatives to mining development,
•    reflect with Guatemalan sisters and brothers about the biblical message of liberation,
•    visit MCC programs in Guatemala,
•    join ongoing action for Mining Justice.

The tentative dates for the tour are April 15- 29, 2010, and the anticipated cost to participants is $2,500. To express interest or request more information as it becomes available, contact Monica Scheifele in the Ottawa Office.
