A Visit to the El Chocolate School in Guatemala



I recognize this man as a leader from El Chocolate where school #4 is located. It is also where they put up a memorial for Mom, and said a prayer when we put her ashes next to a tree planted by the school. The man spoke about his mother, and how special she was to him, and he lost her a year earlier.

On another trip (the mission when we constructed the playground at Pocoxpan school), he heard we would be there, so he and the village committee traveled to meet up with us. They want to give us weavings of thanks for their school, water, stoves, and latrines.

Last January several of us had a chance to visit El Chocolate school and play games and do arts and crafts with the children. This is one of my favorite villages because of the people - they are so humble, grateful, proud, and hard working.
