Guatemala Mission Trip

Our VIM team members will be assisting local workers in the construction of a new block concrete home for Angela Chiroy Santay and her three children. Currently, the family is living in a dirt-floored, crumbling adobe house with a leaky, rusty tin roof. The "bathroom" is in deplorable shape. Angela sleeps on a rickety cot and the three children sleep on mats on the dirt floor nearby.

For photos and more details on the mission, please download the newsletter.
