Our Purpose

Our purpose is to work, interact, and help better the community by immersing ourselves in their world. We will work and integrate ourselves as a part of their community and volunteer to take care of their needs. We will be enabled to work in the local school, Escuelita de Oliveros, and help build and repair many of the needed facilities, such as painting classrooms, building bathrooms,digging trenches for water pipes, and fixing electricity in classrooms. On top of this, we will be able to interact with the students and teach sports, hygiene, music, etc. We will have the ability to walk to several households and interact with individuals and their families, observe their way of living, provide basic needs for them, and teach them hygiene. We will also serve the community by providing a large dinner for families to come to eat and socialize. Here we will meet more amazing people in a different world and bless them with God’s love and mercy. We will provide them with supplies we have purchased with fundraised money and supplies each individual team member has brought. Our goal for our team is that as we serve and make a difference in such a deprived community, we will have the chance to connect with our own team members and grow in God’s love and grace. We will have a short Bible study and prayer before our day of service and again at night when we return. Through relationships with the Guatemalan community and our own community back at home, we hope to develop a deeper relationship with God and an understanding of God’s grace and mercy.
