Stoves and exploring Guatemala
The TMs began their third week in schools with a better understanding of lesson planning and the school in general. The TMs are starting to become attached to the kids and were participating in gym class and playing with the kids during break time. 
It’s great to see this interaction with the children and we are all pleased with the progress of this group. 
The third week marked the start of the stove-building. Mark and Alexa built the first stove at the beginning of the week and Billy and Sarah finished the second stove on Thursday. We will build 3 stoves in total.
Alexa and Erin went to Tikal and the rest of the group went to San Marcos this past weekend. It is nice to see them enjoying Guatemala and all it has to offer. Their curiosity about the country has been a strong point with this group. 
They know Panajachel and the area of Lake Atitlan very well and have developed relationships here with their Spanish teachers, home stay families and local shopkeepers. 
They are always walking around town, having coffee and discussing the project. They are a close-knit group and are looking forward to the festival this week in Panajachel, their stay in Antigua and the final celebrations at the school.
