Malnutrition in Guatemala

The ABC News program This Week with Christiane Amanpour featured a story on children's malnutrition in Africa and Guatemala.  The Guatemala portion of the story takes place in the western highlands of Guatemala, the area where St. Mark supports the Nuestra Senora del Carmen School and the work of the Carmelite sisters at the Prophet Elias Convent in Patzun.  The program, which aired Sunday, December 19, 2010, can be viewed here.

After this story aired, Ms. Amanpour interviewed Rajiv Shah, administrator of the USAID organization about the problem of childhood hunger, and what is being done to combat it in places like Guatemala.  You can view that interview here.
