Semana de Servicio 2009



Every year, MCC Guatemala/El Salvador hosts an activity called Semana de Servicio for youth from both countries. This is an exciting opportunity for local young people to experience a mini-work and learn tour in hopes of promoting: personal reflection, faith and cultural exchange, open spaces for dialogue around issues that are affecting youth in the region, the importance of Christian service and peace building in each individual's community.

This year's event was held in Nebaj in the Quiche department of Guatemala, a region populated by the Ixil people and an area that suffered greatly during the armed conflict here in Guatemala. Some 40 young people from 8 different partner organizations participated in three days of work, reflection, and fun, helping Q'anil paint their new building and providing some other general clean-up services to the organization (i.e. moving buckets and buckets of dirt, something I know many of you are familiar with from your time in Guatemala!)

Thank you to Chris and Erin for the pictures!
