Work and pleasure                                                                

Our digital camera was recently stolen from our (locked ) vehicle which will unfortunately make this our last page from Guatemala for this semester.   So we finish with some images of our work and service in Guatemala, a peek at a holiday weekend   in a beautiful resort and an experience in a large market in "Chi Chi".                  

From adding a room onto a local home, to teaching English in the San Juan School, to visiting with children & seniors in the Hermano Pedro Center, to doing sports in the prison,... students had the opportunity to experience a variety of service opportunities. And this while studying Spanish.     Following the language study, students were off for a half month working with Habitat for Humanity, building houses in the hills above the pacific coast.

Kelly Gunter (to the left), kept a close eye on the work projects and provided much of the leadership needed to keep all the projects running smoothly.

The burned out office in the local school shown at left will become one of our next year's projects.

It will join these gardens are part of the legacy left to San Juan by last year's students.  It sure didn't look like this when we left.
