En el 2010, el municipio de Salcajá, Quetzaltenango, erigió este monumento de Eduardo Sac para honrar a sus emigrantes. Es un honor apropiado, como las remesas de los emigrantes es ahora la mayor fuente de Guatemala de capital extranjero. También es apropiado que nos visitaron el monumento.
The municipality of Salcajá, Quetzaltenango, erected this monument by Eduardo Sac to honor its emigrants in 2010. It is a fitting honor as remittances from emigres is now Guatemala's largest source of foreign capital. It is also fitting that we visited the monument.
