Testimonials
Accompanying my 54-year-old sister to Guatemala with a group of 16 other participants was by far one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences I’ve had in my 61 years. Every day was impactful – from physically helping build a free medical clinic to feeding over 280 children lunch- and Lisa’s evening yoga sessions helped nourish our own bodies.
