Service in Guatemala

One of the exciting things I will be participating in this year is a trip to Guatemala to help individuals and families who live in the Polochic Region. A group of approximately 200 people will travel to this region to spend a week helping to stregthen the communities. The trip is scheduled for August 8-18, 2009.

We are partnering with Choice Humanitarian to lead a group of people to Guatemala to build a health clinic and school in a region that has much need. To learn more abut Choice see their website at http://choicehumanitarian.org/. You can also view some video clips about their organization at the botom of this blogsite.

Over the next few months, we will be making preparations which include fundraising, developing workshops, and making travel preparations. To find out more about the project, visit the facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=52363113880 or just give me a ring and I'd be happy to tell you more.

If you know anyone who would like to participate in this type of service opportunity please pass the information along.
