Current Projects
Our projects for 2020 include the creation of a community garden at Backyard School, a school library and playground equipment and water filters in Santiago Atitlan, a vitamins program and stoves in Panimache Quinto Alto and Bajo, the Chujupen Potable Water project, student sponsorship, bunk beds, and general support to Nuevo Reto. As always, health and education in Guatemala is very important to us and the two ways we think we can have the most impact for long-term sustainability.
The “right” opportunity arose when I learned about a travel opportunity for adoptive families which would include volunteer work and cultural sightseeing. Being members of that team had a profound impact on me, Lillian and Andrew. Not only were we able to make a real connection to our son’s birthplace, but we met incredibly warm and generous people, all of whom we now consider to be a part of our “family.” In addition to the volunteer work I shared with the Team, I also was able to “give back” by performing as my alter ego, “Farfel the Clown” at a barbecue for children of The Backyard School. It will remain one the proudest and happiest memories of my life.
