MAGA Guatemala, an organization active on social media, posted several updates on December 6, 2025, highlighting environmental education achievements, public health recommendations due to cold weather, and community development initiatives.
In a tweet published at 01:00 UTC, MAGA Guatemala stated: "Reconocemos la destacada labor en educación ambiental, coordinada por el profesor César Guiller Fetzer Paz, por el primer lugar de los Premios Ambientales y Culturales GEMAS Guatemala 2025. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/Ky8RExg83D".
Later that morning at 02:00 UTC, the account issued a public advisory about expected cold temperatures over the weekend: "Para este fin de semana se espera el descenso de temperaturas menores a cinco grados centígrados, por tal situación se brindan estas recomendaciones https://t.co/h1dpK5ZI4F #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero".
At 03:00 UTC on the same day, MAGA Guatemala announced its participation in a declaration event for municipalities recognized as free of dirt floors: "Participamos en la declaración de los municipios de San Juan Cotzal, Chajul y Patzité como territorios libres de pisos de tierra, gracias a la Iniciativa Intersectorial #ManoAManoGT. #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero https://t.co/Uj2Xoq5RwA".
The recognition of Professor César Guiller Fetzer Paz relates to his coordination in environmental education efforts that led to winning first place in the GEMAS Guatemala Environmental and Cultural Awards for 2025. These awards are designed to honor individuals and organizations making significant contributions to environmental protection and cultural preservation in Guatemala.
The warning regarding low temperatures comes amid seasonal climate changes affecting various regions of Guatemala. Authorities often issue such advisories during periods when vulnerable populations could be at risk from colder weather conditions.
The initiative referenced in the third tweet is part of ongoing intersectoral collaborations aimed at improving living conditions by eliminating dirt floors in homes. This measure is associated with better health outcomes and reduced exposure to soil-borne diseases among residents of rural communities.
