I went to Guatamala on an archaeological expedition. The descendants of the Maya have suffered great persecution. The culture is a catholic veneer with a deep mayan base. I was wandering about and encountered a small guerilla unit who decided I was CIA. The overlayered Che Guevara t shirt a GF forced on me, and a obviously incompetant mastery of spanish saved my neck, as mere possession could result in a Police bullet in the back of your head. Again, if you want to show true Christian charity, learn about the people before showing up like a repackaged conquistadore.
