Work was rewarding as our team completed or started various components of three different mission-specific programs that ranged from basic feeding programs for children to medical and dental clinic operations. Our team also worked to finish primitave furniture for a tent community adjacent to the community where the mission site is located.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Understanding how important basic medical and nutritional care is for residents of rural Guatemala. All local residents I came in contact with were extremely grateful and vocal about the work that Mission Guatemala was doing to improve their quality of life.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Provide greater planning and organization to the mission teams at the onset of their service time to ensure that productivity was maximized. I.e. make sure to poll talents, establish team leaders for various projects, etc.
MY ROLE:
Volunteer & Constructed playground equipment for a pre-school age feeding program site, dug footers for another feeding program building in an adjacent community, finished primitave furniture for a local tent community. .
