A dog enjoys sunshine lying on the volcanic soil.

The sudden rage of Fuego has put an end to the happy life of the volcano’s neighbors by taking their homes, land and families.

After the disaster, the Guatemalan authorities and civilians have organized rescue evacuations and resettlement in the area of damage. Food, water, clothes, medicine and other materials donated by the people have been delivered to temporary shelters set in Escuintla.

Although the people’s homeland is destroyed, people’s faith will not be shattered. May the dead find peace and the survivors find strength to rebuild their homeland. Smiles and happy salsa dancing will return to this land, one day. Animo amigos!
