Time and Talents for Children

This past week I had the honor of coordinating a group of 19 eager and passionate adults and teenagers from all over the US--but mainly Wisconsin. The trip leaders and directors of Time and Talents for Children, Jody and Greg, and I have been planning their arrival for over a year! To be with this only 7 days was too short, but the trip went with few hitches and everyone left tired but happy!

Dental Team:




 Construction Team---Bottle Classroom in Janlay to and two new cook stoves. The formal kitchen has been used as a classroom for several years due to lack of space. In the meantime snack was being prepared in large pots over open flames. This is not only dangerous, but also a cause of fatal illness; as respiratory problems are the number one cause of death in Guatemala. So it was decided by the school staff and parents committee that a new full-sized classroom was needed to reallocate the students and reclaim the original kitchen space where we also built to accessible cook stoves.
