We are excited about our upcoming trip which is just over 2 months away! As mentioned in the last post, Joel and Janna will be joining us. Because we have over 25 team members going, we expect to accomplish multiple projects. In addition to updating and adding children for the sponsorship program in El Membrillal, some of the team will be working on constructing a new classroom at the school, while others help build cooking stoves for families in need.
Many homes have open fires to cook on inside their homes. This of course leads to respiratory and eye problems. The cost of each new stove is $150. The team is raising money for this project and well as for the classroom construction (estimated to cost about $1,000).
If you or your church, youth group, Sunday School, office, family, etc. would like to donate toward these projects, please go to His Hands for Guatemala or visit us at His Hands Support Ministries
Some of these stoves in El Membrillal and Magdalena have already been replaced, but other families are in need.
Below is an example of a new stove. This makes life so much easier and is much healthful than the open fires.
There have been many improvements on the building where the school meets since we were there in December.

Some very happy school children at recess!!
Please pray for this trip and for the projects. Donations of any size are appreciated.
