Settling in and excursions in Guatemala

We started the week off with Grameen and Allegro. We visited a Grameen Center in Santa Catarina. The TMs had lots of questions for the borrowers during the meeting and were able to purchase some of the products afterwards.




The Allegro trip on Tuesday started with the TMs first trip on the lake. We traveled through rural countryside to reach the foot of the volcano Atitlan.

After the trip the TMs were able to buy some organic coffee produced at the local co-op. On Saturday the TMs made a tour around the lake visiting Santiago and San Marcos.

We have had a lot of fun this past week and are looking forward to the Independence Day celebrations at the project next week.

This group is getting to know Panajachel and is developing great relationships with their home stay families and Spanish school teachers.

I always see them walking around together and they have taken advantage of the great atmosphere of Lake Atitlan during this festive time of year.
