Review for Mission Guatemala Inc, Indianapolis, IN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was a member of a team who traveled from the US to Panajachel Guatemala to work with Mission Guatemala building a soccer field / basketball court for a village that was displaced by hurricane Stan. Members of our team also worked with the children of the village. I felt that overall Mission Guatemala did an excellent job organizing prior to our arrival, and we had very few "issues" during the trip. Two translators stayed with our group at our hotel, and were very friendly and knowledgeable in both the language and the construction tasks we were performing. The arrangements that Tom had made with locals to cook both lunch near the job site, and breakfast / dinner near the hotel helped ensure we were eating nutritious and safe food, and helped reduce the cost of the trip, while providing much needed jobs in the area.
