Mark Hussein @ University Business Center

"Faces of Guatemala"

In March of 2013, local photographer Mark Hussein was asked by the Seattle based non-profit organization Avivara (www.avivara.org) to come to Guatemala to photograph the conditions and environment in and around the remote mountain villages where Avivara does educational support work in the local school. The villages where Mark went are ethnically Mayan, but despite the cultural differences, he was touched by the openness of the people, especially the children.

Mark is proud to share the images in this exhibit, Faces of Guatemala, with you and hopes that you will be moved to help Avivara in their efforts to improve the conditions for the children of Guatemala. A portion of the sales of the prints will be donated to Avivara, specifically earmarked for the school in the village of San Jose el Yalu where the majority of the images in this exhibit were captured.
