Guatemala Bound!

In less than 24 hours I leave for Guatemala with 6 moms. It is going to be quite a trip! We have birthfamily meetings, foster family meetings, sponsored family meetings, trip to Lake Atitlan, and are going to spend a day visiting projects with MayaWorks (www.mayaworks.org), WINGS (www.wingsguate.org), and Behrhorst (Behrhorst Partners for Development - Mission Statement) and will get to interact with families in a rural BPD village.

The rest of the time will be spent shopping, eating, and enjoying the most beautiful country in the world!

I will be sure to post photos when we return!

Sonya
