We want to thank everyone who attended our annual meeting this Saturday, August 1st. Although we were unable to gather in person, there was a new opportunity to include our Central American program partners in the celebration. We could look back on the accomplishments in the last year and plan for the future together – an exciting first!

We enjoyed hearing project updates from many of our projects including videos from out in the field. Tony Brun shared a moving video by Santos Servellio in Honduras about agroforestry and water conservation. We were proud to introduce a video series titled, Hope at Home, produced by Brett Sherman (Below). He created a wonderful collection that tells many stories of the challenges and home-grown solutions in Guatemalan communities. A fantastic contribution to our organization and we appreciate his commitment and talents. Enjoy all seven videos below and learn more about our Hope at Home campaign below.

This year, we continue in our long-term development goals but have shifted our focus to support emergency efforts during COVID-19. We are urgently working on communities health education with hand-washing and mask-wearing, but most importantly, feeding hungry families now. Stay tuned to our Facebook page to follow this progress and see how you can get involved.
