El Paredon, Guatemala - SURF FOR LIFE

I spent a week El Paredon, Guatemala in December 2014 and had a beyond amazing experience. We assisted in building a primary/secondary school for half our day and also spent time with the local community doing cultural exchange activities. Cultural exchange activities were with the primary and secondary students who would be using the school. For example, reading time, scavenger hunts, soccer games, etc. We also took a cooking class to learn how to make a local food favorite. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. Their guidance helped with becoming more familiar with the community and their culture.

Accommodations were amazing, right on the beach and the food was 5 star!

I would love to go back to El Paredon for another project to help the community!
