Guatemala
On this mission trip we will partner with, Constru Casa, a non-profit organization offering basic housing to families living in extreme poverty. Constru Casa always works in collaboration with local social organizations to identify families of exceptional need. Beneficiary families participate in the construction of their home and also pay back one fourth of the total cost of their house over four years.
12 Youth and 4 Adult Leaders will travel to Guatemala during the week of July 24-August 1, 2010. This group will stay with host families in the City of Antigua, which has been named a World Heritage Centre by the United Nations. The group will have two days for exploring and enjoying the rich cultural traditions of Antigua. The rest of our time will be spent working with local masons to construct 3 houses. The families who will move into these homes will also work along side our team, making this a truly unique experience. Cost: $500 to individual & $500 to the parish.
