On Jan. 10, 2015, 24 Allina Health employees will embark on
a seven day trip to Antigua, Guatemala. Throughout the week members of the
group will post about their experience with the Guatemalan culture.
Guatemala is located in Central America with a population of
about 14 million people. It is a beautiful country with lovely people but it
also one of the poorest countries in Central America. Fifty percent of
Guatemalans live below the poverty line and 1/3 live on less than $2 per day.
During their time in Guatemala the group will volunteer with
Common Hope and Communidades de la Tierra, visit La Esquintla Hospital, a
public, government run hospital in Guatemala, to see how healthcare is provided
in a third world country. They will also witness a day in a life of a
Guatemalan coffee farmer and artisan.
These are just a few activities the group will participate
in during their time in Guatemala. Check back during the week of Jan. 10- 17 to
read about the trip directly from the employees themselves.
