Great thanks go to the SIFE volunteers, who have spent the past few days showing the village how to use an electronic medium to let the world know about the warm hospitality they will find in El Remate, the "bedroom community" of Tikal. In the photo above are (in front) Gabriela de la Bastide, who has been doing an excellent job of translating for the group, (back left) Cameron Hoopes, Scott Manley, Leslie Frye, Joe Irvin III and Jeffriey Shipley, all from Langdale College of Business of Valdosta State University in Georgia.
SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) are a non-profit organization educating people on concepts like market economics, entrepreneurship, and business ethics through educational outreach projects.
For the week that they are here, the SIFE group is holding classes and working one-on-one with the business owners of our community to teach us how to use social networking to promote our village and our businesses. Many small hotel owners now have their own blogs and are also authors on this blog, where we have joined together to showcase the many choices of excellent, safe and comfortable accommodations and restaurants in the village.
I think our group needs a nickname to solidify us. How about the A-Team?
