Review for Mission Guatemala Inc, Indianapolis, IN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This was my second trip to Mission Guatemala. Tom and his team do a remarkable job. We learned the history of Mission Guatemala, visited the clinic, preschool, and feeding center. We worked all week on stuccoing a school kitchen. We were just part of a team effort of many volunteer groups to help build this kitchen for the children in the area. We enjoyed the people, culture and beautiful surroundings. We had gracious hosts, cooks, bus drivers, guide, construction crew, and interpreter. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Review for Mission Guatemala Inc, Indianapolis, IN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I just spent the last week with Mission Guatemala and I'm still thinking about the wonderful experiences I had. Tom, David and Noah made the week of hard work, fun and meaningful. Tom has said he is all about developing relationships and we definitely did that with the friendly and appreciative natives.
I painted a house and fence, delivered and helped assemble fuel efficient stoves and played with the adorable preschoolers. Throughout the week a staff member was working along with us and helping us. Tom made sure that the volunteers needs were met while making sure that we had worthwhile projects to do to help the people of the villages.
Before Mission Guatemala existed these people had no one they could depend on to help them. Within a year's time there is a health and dental clinic and a preschool which is available to them. Plus a feeding center was built for children in another area. Many great things have been accomplished in such a short time.
I am so glad that I was able to be a part of this wonderful organization. I'm hoping to return and help Mission Guatemala improve the lives of their neighbors.
