OUR Guatemala Travel Teams
This page is in support of all travel teams for OUR Guatemala Travel with Purpose. Funds donated here will be sent directly to the organizations and projects you specify.
Please combine funds for multiple projects (for example, Nuevo Reto, Backyard School, Jose Miguel Yllescas Juarez, etc.) in one payment. (It saves on fees!)
In the comment field, please mention your team name and the how you want funds to be directed.
Here is an example if you wanted to send $970… the comment field would have “one bed to Backyard School ($220), one bed to Nuevo Reto ($250) and a $500 donation to the projects of Jose Miguel, all for Team Homecoming”
The “right” opportunity arose when I learned about a travel opportunity for adoptive families which would include volunteer work and cultural sightseeing. Being members of that team had a profound impact on me, Lillian and Andrew. Not only were we able to make a real connection to our son’s birthplace, but we met incredibly warm and generous people, all of whom we now consider to be a part of our “family.” In addition to the volunteer work I shared with the Team, I also was able to “give back” by performing as my alter ego, “Farfel the Clown” at a barbecue for children of The Backyard School. It will remain one the proudest and happiest memories of my life.
