WE LOVE GUATEMALA.
A land of volcanoes and cobblestone streets where people work tirelessly from sun up to sun down to support the ones they love. Here, the hospitality is as warm as the tortillas served with each meal.
It’s overflowing with an abundance of loving people and gorgeous landscapes, but it has a severe lack of resources when it comes to education and pathways to a better life.
