Hola! Mark from San Francisco here blogging from gorgeous Guatemala. Its day 3 of our week long trip and things just get better. The group and I visited one of the schools in Santiago and we were welcomed with the warmest hearts by the students and the teachers. It was such an amazing experience to sit in one of the classes and witness the kind of learning the children of this part of Guatemala are getting. It was a synergy of their own Mayan culture and some Spanish curriculum. To see the faces of the kids wide eyed and eager to learn was truly inspiring. I feel so fortunate to be part of this trip. It gave me an opportunity to experience life changing moments and also see the efforts that Save the Children and Starbucks have done to create a difference in this part of the world.
In a few minutes we are about to have dinner and get immersed in some Guatemalan culture through Mayan folk dance. On a side note, I think I am addicted to the fresh tortillas here at the Tioj Abaj.
Till my next blog. Adios for now. Muchos amor, Mark
