Local Hope Guatemala Service Trip 2024

This was my second trip with Local Hope Guatemala. There were 6 years between the trips and the changes in the facilities and local leadership is amazing. The Eco Lodge was barely started in 2018 on my first trip. Now in 2024, the accommodations are not only first class, but also self sustaining.
The staff has grown up within the leadership program and now lead the organization. Their stories about their efforts to keep people from starving during Covid were heartwarming and heroic.
The daily activities were educational, physically challenging, inspirational, emotional and FUN! The people of Guatemala are so warm and gracious...and their gratitude is overwhelming.
I would highly recommend doing one of the service trips with Local Hope Guatemala. You will leave fulfilled, grateful and humbled.
