CCDA Canada Tour and Donation Drive

The leader of the CCDA, Leocadio Juracan just completed a 2 week tour of Eastern Canada with stops in Charlottetown, Halifax, Fredericton, Quebec City, Montreal, Kanesatake, Ottawa, Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo and London.

In Ottawa, Leocadio met with Global Affairs Canada and a Member of Parliament to seek support for peaceful and complete transition of the newly elected Guatemalan government with the progressive president-elect, Bernardo Arévalo. Leocadio also met with some local roasters who use CCDA beans in their coffee. For more information on Leocadio's tour, please check out the Facebook page from our partner, Cafe Justicia BC and this APTN news report.

Leocadio also met with Education in Action board members to thank them for their continued support. To that end, Education in Action now needs your help as we launch our fall donation drive.
