Photos from the community of Chik'isis




USAID actually being useful. (the bags are
being used for house walls )
Taken from my first community visit. Chik'isis is between
 10,236-10,367 ft above sea level. (Walking around was a chore)
Chik'isis schoo
First volunteer group of the summer with the families that
received stoves. They were from Tarrytown TX.


Located at a school near Chik'isis.
Stephanie and I had company while we waited for the
group to show up.  Only a few spoke Spanish,  but all spoke
Kiche, an indigenous Mayan language.  We ended up having a
"soccer game" but really it was "lets make fun of the white people
who can't breath up here game".   :)
We ended up playing soccer...  :)  

They really wanted their pictures taken! :)
