GUATEMALA NEEDS YOU

 Welcome to GUATEMALA NEEDS YOU project.

 My name is Gonzalo Fabra and i'm a 22 years old student. Two years ago I had the idea to create a volunteering with some friends. This will be the second year we are going to Guatemala. The idea is to create a long term project where people can go and experience the volunteering every year. 

The trip consist on travelling to the poorest zones in the country of Guatemala such as Piedra Parada (Cristo Rey) or Escuintla departament among others. There we are helping in a Mano Amiga School. Mano Amiga is a network of Regnum Christi educational centers, where children and young people with fewer opportunities receive the comprehensive training tools they need to develop and become successful people.

We also analyze all the needs of the families there to solve little problems. Part of the money will be used to pay basic materials such as food or special medicaments that cannot be aquired easily. We have contacts with some farmaceuntics that provide us the materials. 

In our project there is also a part of construction. We help to construct whaterver is necessary (roofs, houses, pipelines...)

The money collected will be used to make the project possible this year. Part of that money will help me travel there (20% of the budget). All the rest will be used to provide school materials, construction materials, food and basic suplies. 

Thanks for your time and your generosity
