Today my team and I fly out to Guatemala! We will be in Guatemala for two weeks and will complete two project trips. During the first week we will be in a village called Nebaj in the Ixil region of Guatemala. While in Nebaj we will partner with Agros foundation to design a training center where local rural people will be trained with various skills. Agros is a cool organization that partners with rural subsistence farmers. Check out their website at (www.agros.org)! Agros is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty for rural families in Central America and Mexico by enabling landless communities to achieve land ownership and economic stability. We will be meeting several volunteer design professionals from the States today in Guatemala City and then travel together for 7 hours to the village of Nebaj.
During the second week we will be in Guatemala City where we will partner with a local orphanage called Casa Bernabe. Here we will meet up with a different group of design professional volunteers. Our objective is to design a new structure that will be utilized as a primary school for the orphanage.
Both of these project trips are very exciting and will be a great opportunity to see God's hand at work around the world and provide a valuable service to these local ministries! Please keep us in your prayers! Pray for save travels, health, that we would have good relationships and be a blessing to the local ministries, and that we would complete an appropriate design in a timely manner. Thank you so much for your prayers!
