Embroiled in controversy, President of the National Institute of Culture and History Sapna Budhrani dominated the news this week. Budhrani was put on the hot seat after leaked audit documents revealed a number of irregularities and mismanagement at NICH. The leaked documents showed correspondences between financial officer Edwin Alvarado and internal auditor Roberto Matus. The correspondences addressed fuel consumption, vehicle usage, and finances. After Tuesday’s cabinet meeting, reports surfaced that Budhrani had been suspended. On Thursday, backed up by the NICH Board of Directors, Budhrani broke her silence, saying the media and Cabinet may have been misled by what was leaked. Today, Minister Patrick Faber told the media that Budhrani’s suspension is being worked on. Faber also shared that outside auditors of Baker Tilly Hulse have been hired to review Matus’ audit report.

A Ticket To Guatemala - Exploring The Ruins
We spent two days in Antigua, Guatemala to kick off our 4-month Central America tour. The main part of Antigua is small and very walkable. While there are tourists here and there, it definitely still has a local feel. We just walked around and got lost, stumbling upon ruins, women washing clothes and some delicious coffee that we still miss! You can check out more on our blog post about Antigua here:
