Dates set for next trip to Guatemala

Our next trip to Guatemala is approaching quickly and we’d love for you to join us! We are happy to announce that we already have 7 people on board for the trip in August.  The tentative plan is for us to arrive in Guatemala on the 14th of August and have an orientation with CONIC staff in Guatemala City that evening. We would then leave for Tucuru on the 15th, work with the communities from August 16-21, return to Guatemala City on August 22 for a debrief/evaluation and fly back to the US on the 23rd. For people that want to do sightseeing, or visit other CONIC communities, we could help make arrangements for further travel to points west (Lago de Atitlan, Compalapa, Xela, etc) or to Tikal in the north to see Mayan ruins. We will be focusing our attention on reforestation efforts by helping communities to plant trees and on the installation of stoves in these communities.  We have extended the application deadline to June 15th, but please be aware there is a $250 deposit required by that date at the latest for all who plan to attend. The rest of the money will not be needed until you leave for Guatemala in August. Please do not hesitate to email William Kramer at wkramer@access4less.net for more information on attending the trip or donating money to our efforts.
