mission to guatemala ’07 by Tyler Walls

Fri, 7 Dec 2007 09:56:56 -0500

Of all the videos here, this is perhaps the most comprehensive at capturing this mission. Tyler uses both video, slides, and backing music to summarize an experience that is nearly impossible to explain in 14 min’s. He does so, here. This video does not document anything from Rosa De Amor, but does an outstanding job of covering weeks 2 & 3, and capturing the spirit at Hogar Miguel, and the Colegio Trilingüe Luterano. It’s obvious he put a ton of time and effort into this presentation. Muchas Gracias, Tyler!

home visits in the village by Frank Smith

Sun, 30 Sep 2007 23:00:26 -0400

Most crews had an opportunity to visit homes of the students from the schools, and villagers we were serving on the Medical team. These photos convey the abject poverty that is everyday life for millions of Guatemalans. For many team members, these experiences were the most powerful, and inspired deeper resolve to do what we could to help.

Frank Smith served as the Construction Crew Leader at Hogar Miguel during weeks #2-3. Following the mission, he also composed 11 slideshows of each crew, burned CD’s, and mailed them to all 60+ team members of the mission to share with family and sponsors. This is one of those slideshows.
