I am a long-time volunteer with Miracles in Action. It's a fantastic organization that does all they can to keep their overhead very low so they can maximize the amount that goes directly to the work they do in Guatemala with some of the poorest of the poor. They empower the local people and give them a hand-up, not a hand-out, providing education, training, and health.

I am proud to be a volunteer with Miracles in Action. When I was looking for a group that was working with the poorest areas in Guatemala, I found Miracles in Action on the internet and was impressed by their mission and outlook. I called an talked to the founder, Penny Rambacher, and was even more impressed. I was able to volunteer with them selling Guatemalan handicrafts in the U. S. and being a photographer and translator during openings of schools and a vocation center that they funded in Guatemala. I appreciate their attitude of giving a hand up, not just a hand out. They do everything they can to keep overhead low so that funding goes to providing materials and employment options to locals.

Coming to know Miracles in Action through the mission committee at my church, I have found a way, through volunteering, to help make a difference to extremely needy and underserved third-world people. It has been amazing to watch miracles keep on happening.

In January 2012 I went to Guatemala for 2 1/2 weeks to study Spanish. I was told by a friend that during the time of my visit, there would be a new school opened by the organization Miracles in Action. I played hooky from my Spanish studies for the day and traveled with the group to the school opening. What warmed my heart so much was not how the Miracles in Action group felt about what they were doing, but how the locals felt about being the recipient of this new school - they were truly grateful and appreciative for this gift and hopeful for their children's futures. Miracles in Action is really making a difference in people's lives now and building better lives for future generations.

I am involved in multiple charities as the head of a school service learning group. Miracles in Action is truly one of my favorites. It meets all of the criteria that I demand of a group which I/we support. It is based on the needs of the population and has been able to do so, by finding out what is wanted by the population that MIA serves, and then working to meet that need. Monies raised are well managed- as seen by the numerous schools, water projects, stoves etc.

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Friends having schools opened in Guatemala allowing many hundreds of students to receive an education.

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Have even more people involved in this organization

From the early days of taking shoes, toys and blankets, this charity has progressed to building schools, vocational training, libraries, clean water and wells for villages, vented cooking stoves, family planning and so much more. I know of no other charity where 100% of your donation goes to the project you support and if you contribute to build a school, you as the donor get to go and see what you have built and see the gratitude of every child and adult in the village you have helped. Penny, the founder and CEO of Miracles is an amazing lady with so much vision for a brighter tomorrow for Guatemala with the sustainable aid she provides.

My volunteer work with Penny has been very rewarding Just to see the pictures of the smiling childrfen's faces when they get a new school or a backpack; the mothers who get a new stove in their home; the women with sewing machines -- and the men working hard on building their new schools! We give so little and they get so much. I have not been to Guatemala but hope to visit soon. This is an example of one determined woman can do!

The Great!

I went to Guatemala at the request of MIA to evaluate their schools program and to provide teacher education. As I've come to know this organization, it is amazing to see what a handful of dedicated volunteers can accomplish! Since the first trip, MIA has continued to provide a high level of teacher training and opened a resource center. The resource center provides materials to schools in rural areas where teachers and students have nothing...and I mean nothing!

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I've developed a close relationship with my key contacts in GUA and have had him stay in my home while shadowing me here in the United States. The collaboration and the key local people embedded on the ground insure that programs and funds are implimented as intended.

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

duplicate it a thousand times and provide additional funding to increase their projects!
