La Puya Mining Resistance

Sara Catalan, 35, from La Choleña, takes down a Mother's day card at the La Puya resistance blockade. Sara, mother of three, states: "I am here to make sure this project does not go through, as I do not want it to cause harm to my children." Since March 2nd, 2012, local neighbors from San José del Golfo and San Pedro Ayampuc have blocked the entrance to the EXMINGUA gold mine - owned by Kappes, Cassiday & Assocaites (KCA) based in Reno, Nevada, USA. Residents from the communities claim the industrial activity in their territories as illegal since they were not appropriately consulted before the mine began operating. La Puya, San Pedro Ayampuc, Guatemala. May 14, 2013.
