Update from The Good Shepherd UCC group in Guatemala:
Greetings,
All is well here in Guatemala! Our group of nine is well into our first week of Spanish classes and have settled into our families and homes. It is amazing to think that over the past 24 years the Good Shepherd has made 14 trips to Guatemala with over 200 people participating. We have deep roots with Probigua and the students that we give Scholarships. Next week we will travel to Santa Ampalonia in Chimaltenago to give out the scholarships to the students and share in a meal that their mothers will make. We will bring greetings from the Good Shepherd.
