Whole Foods Team Members Coming to Guatemala!

Over the next two months a group of Whole Foods Team Members from all over North America will be particpating in the WFM Team Member Volunteer Program based in Panajachel, Guatemala and beautiful Lake Atitlan. Team Members will meet with Grameen borrowers, tour an Allegro Coffee Plantation and study Spanish all while living with local families and experiencing ancient indigenous culture and Maya traditions through tours and workshops organized by GVI staff and indigenous Maya guides.

Team Members will also be building eco-friendly stoves in the mountain villages outside of Panajacel. By participating in this program Team Members will supply the local school with 1,800 pieces of fruit a week. Team Members will also spend 75 hours each working in the school acting as assistants and instructors. We are all excited about our new arrivals and are looking forward to an exciting experience and reaching our goal of building 35 stoves over the next couple months.
