Joy and Genie get stuck in and the TMs live the culture


The TMs started work on the project this week. We began with a teaching seminar and discussed lessons and the overall make-up of the classrooms they will be working in.

Wednesday was the first full day of the TMs at the project. They were well-prepared and eager to get started. The week was successful and the TMs were able to bring in some great lessons and give a lot of support to the local teachers.




We made a trip around the lake on Saturday and visited San Marcos and Santiago Atitlan. The sky was clear and it was great day to be on the Lake.

The group was very engaged throughout the whole trip as Miguel, our guide, showed the TMs a little more about the people and culture of Guatemala.

We also started the stove-building this week and Joy and Genie were able to work with Michelle and Nikki.

This group has been a lot of fun and we have been having a great time. The TMs will have a much deserved rest this weekend and are looking forward to doing a little traveling and seeing more of the country.
