My Nonprofit Reviews

I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to travel to Guatemala. I have visited here before and worked with a ministry group called clubhouse guatemala, so when Ms.Stacie mentioned that she was taking a group, I was like count me in. I love Guatemala because the people are so kind and they all love each other. Coming from a small town, it is amazing to see how other people live. It’s very humbling to me because everyone here is so happy and thankful for everything they have and not everyone here has the opportunity to go to school. There are many kids who just know at a young age that they will eventually work for the rest of their lives and for only one dollar a day. Many people in America don’t know that there are other people around the world that actually have to work to survive, which is why it is good to travel. I think that we as students don’t actually know how good we have it. I hear students complain all the time about their dorms or how much they don’t like class. Here in Guatemala, some people are living in a one room, bamboo built, house and they still have a smile on their face. If students in the dorm were told they had to move into a one room shack, they would have a stroke. I believe that traveling to Guatemala truly humbles me and reminds me that I am more than blessed to be who I am, have the things that I have, and participate in the things that are available to me.
