Berestain, member of an international delegation investigating impunity in Mexico and particularly the disappearance of 43 students who went missing from Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico, is widely known for his human rights work in Guatemala and elsewhere. He is a psychologist as well as MD, brings a broad, culturally-sensitive perspective. Spanish, with English translation. Professor Elizabeth Oglesby, who is promoting the event, is hugely respected for her own long-term work in Guatemala. I've heard Berestain in the past and strongly recommend this presentation. FREE. All welcome.

ALSO, please try to be on time, as we open with the Mass. AGENDA: limited reports, only necessary decisions. Possible look at "what are we overlooking?" (See SAC September report below).
