FRIDAY
This is a travel day. The team will arrive into Guat City and it’s a 5 hour drive to Huehue. Once in Huehue the team will get settled into the guest house and do some team building activities. A perfect time to talk about the week ahead, what to expect, and have open discussion about the purpose of why everyone is there.
SATURDAY
This day will be used to start teaching coffee. There will be a chance to go to a Mayan village and see a church and also a market. A great day to get the team use to the people. How they live, learn who they are, and experience the culture.
SUNDAY
This will be used to visit churches in the area and starting meeting the people. There will be a lot of interaction with the communities and a chance to meet pastors and those who live in these farming communities. If the group is open then someone can speak at the church and share testimonies. This could be a great time for 963 to speak to the people there and share our vision and what we are trying to do there.
MONDAY – THURSDAY
First thing on Monday the team will travel to Agua Dulce which is 2 hours away. This is where the plantations are. During the next 4 days the team will visit several farms. Meet farmers. Learn, see, experience the entire coffee process. The harvest will have just gotten over so probably a lot of the work will be hands on helping with getting the land ready and prepping for the growing season. This is also when a project can be started. Everything from building things that will help the farmers, to playing with kids in the farming community. There will be traditional walks and hikes to tour the plantations and everything anyone wanted to learn about coffee will happen. End of Thursday the team will go back to Huehue.
FRIDAY
Will travel back to Guat city. On the way they can tour Antigua and do some tourist type things.
SATURDAY
Get on a plane and go home
FOOD - The Lord has provided a team of people who take good care of us. The food is prepared especially with our north American friends in mind; Clean, safe and delicious. We take all of our food and drinking water to Agua Dulce with us.
ACCOMMODATIONS - In Guatemala City we use a guest house and there is a guest house in Huehue, with bunk beds and some regular beds. Hot water in showers. It is not luxurious but it is comfortable and the groups have liked it very much. |
