Faces of Guatemala 2014, Part 1
Jul 16 2014 ·0In one respect at least this year was no different from last year in Guatemala; I was drawn to the faces of not only the children and the women of the village but also the beautiful hard working faces of our team.

I thought this beautiful poem I found would be particularly appropriate…
