Review for Mission Guatemala Inc, Indianapolis, IN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The local Mayan people were there working with us to improve their pre-school and Clinic. This was not a unique event. The same was happening with the building of a new school cafeteria at a different site up the road. There is huge potential for these people because of their desire to better themselves. There is no poverty of spirit, only a poverty of opportunity and basic living essentials. I look forward to watching the future progress of this Mission, still in it's infancy, and look forward to continuing to support it. My hope is that the many other missions currently in Guatemala will reach out to one another to synergize their efforts. My fear is that ego and self importance from well intentioned support groups may create unnecessary duplication, confusion, and ultimately cast a divisive atmosphere where so much good can be accomplished.

By seeing the children attending the medical clinic and pre-school of which we helped build, seeing the appreciation and desire to participate in the betterment of their community by the local people.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

None at this time. My hope is that the many organizations learn to work together more effectively to create the greatest good.

Role:  Volunteer & I participated in various building projects.
