The group has had a truly amazing experience working with the community outside of Xela (pronounced SHAY-LA - adopted name of Quetzeltenango - see the post from Kristin's family below for more information about this growing city).The Mayan community here is very poor and full of love! The home stays here were quite basic, but that is when you learn the most. The group has worked hard and is now coming to the end of the trip to a well deserved rest. They travel today to Panajachel (referred to as Pana by the tourists and the large expatriate community living here). Below is a link to see more of this lovely town on Lake Atitlan. They have a great market on Saturday and Sunday so the group can spend their last days lazing by the lake or shopping for the beautiful handmade items. Bien trabajo!
