After seeing an amazing sceanery of lakes, lush green trees, and a gigantic volcano, I am feeling nervous, anxious, excited, and facing the unknown... What to expect with 12 managers from across the USA all together for one purpose!
After lunch our first day, some of the partners that arrived early spent the afternoon visiting the museum of textiles and art. We witnessed two great presentations on the culture of Guatemala. Beautiful guipils, bright colorful scarves and a history lesson on how they are woven.
Little did I know that on the drive up to Santiago Atitlan this morning, we would see lots of people wearing those same gorgeous guipils. In the other museum we learned about the Mayan religion and after learning about it I am really amazed by their culture and technology.
I can't wait to serve the kids and see the coffee farmers!
