2010 Guatemala Trip

Buenos dias amigos y amigas!

The Lake in the Hills Rotary Club is proud to participate in a missions trip to Guatemala, from January 23 - Feb 1, 2010.

For those who are experienced in, or are willing to learn to do light construction, we will be building a structure to house a library at Ak'Tenamit. For those unable to do the building construction, there will be shelving, varnishing, and other routine maintenance to complete. The groups will each work at Ak'Tenamit from Monday through Friday and will finish up the trip with a day and a half to two days in the historic city of Antigua.

Ak'Tenamit is an indigenous community development organization based in the rainforests of eastern Guatemala that promotes long-term solutions to poverty through programs in health, education, and family incomes. It is run by and for the Q'eqchi Maya. The Guatemalan Tomorrow Fund is the US-based, non-profit (501 C-3) corporation that raises funds and provides logistical support for Ak' Tenamit.
