In August 2019, 24 Rotaractors came together and raised over $80,000 to install 89 ventilated Aller stoves in the rural village of Cementerio Jolomtaj, Guatemala. We also planted 290 lime trees and brought reading glasses and soccer balls. It was an amazing experience to say the least!

Six years ago in high school I had the opportunity to travel to Guatemala on a service project and help in the villages for 2 weeks as well as travel around the beautiful country that is Guatemala. This summer I had the chance to return to Guatemala to volunteer in the villages as well as travel around, and it did not disappoint.
