How can i help out in Guatemala?

Question

I recently saw a slide show about a couple of girls that traveled to Guatemala. It really inspired me and now i want to go there to help out as well. Does anyone know where i could find information about this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The Peace Corp offers some great opportunities.  If you can find some responsible charities who are truly looking to improve the state of the people, fundraisers are a good idea to send them money and resources.  They are in great need of a lot of things.  Education, teen pregnancies, malnutrition, etc.  Money is important to help programs that are combating these problems.

Answer 2

where did you see the slide show

Answer 3

Buy guatemalan products.   Visit Guatemala and spend your foreign money in the country.    Tell everybody else about Guatemala.  It's beautiful.
