3 Days to Go: this one's serious and maybe a little dark

This morning I listened to a phone message from my father about four decapitated heads on sticks strategically placed around the capital in Guate. Guatemala has had its share of news coverage recently due to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tropical storms, and sink holes... and now this. I constantly have to remind myself why I feel so attached to this country. Although this news makes me a little anxious, this is what compels me to want to be there. It's a country with so much need, and I want to help in whatever way I can.

So this blog is for me to share about Guatemala and my experience. My last experience in Guatemala was simply an amazing introduction to a beautiful country. My purpose was to study Spanish and learn about the culture. This time around I'll be volunteering with my friend's organization, the God's Child Project. I'll be assisting in a classroom, tutoring English as a Foreign Language, and getting a little preview of all the volunteering positions in the organization. Corinne is hooking me up with everything- including a house :)
