Review for Mission Guatemala Inc, Indianapolis, IN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I spent a week in late July with Mission Guatemala as part of a team from two churches in Central Indiana. The work project was to build a concrete soccer field in a Mayan village near Panajachel. While incredible progress was made on the soccer field, the most important part of the time there, was getting to know the people of the village, especially the children! I am not a young woman but found tasks to support the "heavy" work of the project, however, the highlight was time spent each afternoon with the children's program. The children were enthusiastic, happy, and busy with the activities we provided. We had lunch at the Clinic each day and I was pleasantly surprised with the facilities for health care and the abundance of medicines. So much has been done with little resources and it is amazing all that has been accomplished by Tom Heaton and Dave. It is obvious that they are much loved and respected by everyone there. They certainly have my admiration and respect. I have had the privilege of participating in many mission trips to developing countries in the last several years, and if ever an entity deserved support, it is Mission Guatemala. Please include them in your giving and make a trip to help with their work, if that is possible.
