Jackie, Thank you for clarifying this for me. Now I understand what this is aboout. How terrible for the people and their families! Thanks again, Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie McBride" <abletec@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 30, 2008 5:06 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT-Sort of Benetech in Guatamala Sue: Let me see if perhaps I can't clarify the situation a bit, particularly since you're not able to watch the video. Unfortunately, the cuntry of Guatamala has had a history of severe political repression of those who didn't agree with the prevailing government. Many of them have "disappeared", e.g., were arrested, often killed, & their loved ones have no idea whether they're alive, in prison, dead, or what. Evidently documentation has been found regarding the fate of many of these people, & Benetech is helping to distribute it in an attempt to help family members determine once & for all what's happened to their loved ones. I hope this helps clarify. Obviously this is an unpleasant reality but for those who have waited, sometimes for many years, to find out the fate of family members, this could, at best, be cause for hope of unification, or, at worst, at least bring about some sort of closure.
