A return trip to Guatemala!

 I was standing in a classroom last summer and noticed the writing on the chalk board.  These kids were learning multiplication.  It could have been any class room in the United States.  Small desks, numbers on the board. But this was Guatemala.

• This school had a dirt floor.
• This school had gaps in the walls that allowed windy drafts to blow through all day long.
• This school had a tin roof that reverberated every single sound.
• This school had not a single electrical outlet.
• This school was built by donations of one piece of wood by each family that were nailed together.

With generous donations, willing hands and feet,  and hearts of hope, we are working toward transforming the educational environment for the village of Twi'Ninwitz.  Already, the first of eight classrooms that we worked on last summer is in use.  The 2nd and 3rd classrooms are almost done.  This summer we will be returning to work on classrooms #4 and possibly #5.  God is good!

As Kim and I plan to return to Guatemala this summer, we are seeking support to fund the school in Twi’ninwitz.  Just a small amount can make a huge difference in the lives of these children.  Not only are we giving them a building, but we are fostering hope for their future.  We’d love for you to join us in the effort by supporting this worthy project!  You can donate directly to our fundraising page here http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/christpresbyterian/guatemala2015 .  You can read more about what we did last year, and even watch a video of our trip at our trip’s website:    http://www.missiontrip.cpcfairfax.org/

Thank you for your generosity!
