Guatemala: Conalitos Project Overview








July 13th 6:00am: I woke up and showered, feeling amazingly great missing a whole days worth of sleep the previous night, and went to breakfast. We had some awesome pancakes and bacon, a pleasant surprise for all of us who were expecting something odd and other worldly. John arrived and briefed us on or day. We would head to a school in Conalitos that was started by an amazing woman named Rosalia. She started this Christian school in the middle of a poor community as an outreach.


Or goal was to give the entire school a facelift. Wash all windows, paint all walls, sweep and rake all ground, scrape and paint all playground equipment. This is a site that we spent 3 days at. We divided our team into different parts and started to work. School was in session while we were working, so the kids and teachers were watching us and asking many questions about why we came all the way from Michigan to work at their school. This opened up many doors for sharing the gospel.
