A while ago (I’m still way behind on answering emails), Jose Antonio Alcayaga III wrote me. He had just gone to Donostia, Euskal Herria as part of the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) via the University of Nevada to learn euskara. Born and raised in Stamford, Connecticut, his father, from whom he gets his Basque heritage, is from Guatemala.
Jose created a group on Facebook, Alcayagas of the World, which has brought together over 200 members of the greater Alcayaga family. He was interviewed about his efforts to bring the Alcayagas together by EuskalKultura. The interview, in Spanish, can be found here.
Zorionak Jose!
