Affiliate: PeaceJam HQ | Event: 2012 Revealed with Rigoberta Menchú Tum

There were many lessons to be learned from Rigoberta Menchú Tum and the other Mayan Spiritual Elders during "2012 Revealed".

Ana Arias, a writer who specializes in Corporate Social Responsibility, highlights one important teaching in her recent blog.

Arias, wrote:
At the very least, corporate social responsibility warriors would have gained perspective because Rigoberta embodies perspective. These CSR professionals would have seen and heard stories of what happens when countries forget that their native sons and daughters deserve the same humane treatment that they bestow upon themselves.

Arias writes about the good work of Menchú Tum, who she describes as "A woman who was an influential figure in the creation of a peaceful accord in her native Guatemala that ended a 36-year civil war."
