it really is a life changing experience to see this. its right on the edge of a graveyard.. and the caskets/bodies get thrown over the edge down to where people are "scavenging" its pretty sad.

GOD BLESS THE ONE THAT HELPS GUATEMALA

You are not going to like what I have to say. My feelings are that you are mainly helping yourself. If you simply gave the money to a charity who work with the Dump Scavengers you would help more. Think about it...40 people spending $4000 final cost is $160,000 . Guatemalans would be employed and could build a school for that MONEY or 2000 houses for crying out loud. Yes you get experience but don't go on about how you helped some poor people....stay home...send money and really help.

Let me tell you something, that is NOT how life is in Guatemala, in guatemala it's WORSE becouse you go outside the dumpster and find yourself with many people driving mercedez benz bmw, people that are only wear brand name clothes and go to expensive private universities but they are not bad people, they just don't know of what happens in the dumpster, AND another thing it's not Americans who go out and help, IT'S Christians and god bless them.
