Volunteer trip to Guatemala

Late February 2010, Seeds President, Walter Able left Columbus, Indiana for his semi-annual visit for Seeds of Help. On the trip he met up with our new volunteer Val who will be living with Brenda for 5 weeks.. She will be hosting a guest blog in the coming weeks within the Seeds of Help blog. You can see her first post below this one.
Stacy Able, our roving photographer went along and took photos to help spread the word visually. Below are a few of the many photos. You can see the full gallery at: http://stacyable.com/seedsofhelp2010/index.html

If you would like any more information or to purchase photos you may do so by contacting us at info@seedsofhelp.org and all proceeds go directly towards children’s scholarships.

Seeds of Help has a new volunteer in Guatemala. Her name is Valerie and she will be our guest blogger for these next couple of weeks. Her voice will be the day to day activities of what one volunteer with Seeds of Help experiences. Below is her first weeks thoughts and observations as well a photo of Val with Brenda and two Seeds sponsored girls.  Both girls speak an indigenous language, Mam, and wove their own clothes.  Mirabel (between Brenda and Valerie) will be helping some of our women’s groups by teaching them to weave.
