MISSIONS 2011: Guatemala
Antigua/Tikal
May 28th (Sat)- June 4th (Sat)

Needed: Medical/Dental team

This medical/dental mission is designed to bring needed care to Mixco, located near the famed colonial city of Antigua. Guatemala is the largest and most populous of the Central American countries and one of the poorest.

Over 56% of the population live in poverty (half of which earn less than $2 a day). We will be providing three days of free clinic in one of the most impoverished areas of Guatemala.

The team will be staying near Guatemala City and in Antigua, one of best-preserved colonial cities in Spanish America. The town was founded in the early 16th century. Clinics are Monday through Wednesday. Thursday and Friday are free days. Tours of Ruins, museums (including the coffee museum), or Horseback riding in Guatemala countryside are planned.

The town was founded in the early 16th century. From Antigua we will make the 40 minute trip to the clinic, returning in the evening to our hotel. Clinics are Monday through Wednesday. Thursday and Friday are free days. Tours of Ruins, museums (including the coffee museum), or Horseback riding in Guatemala countryside are planed.

For those who wish to travel to Tikal, arrangements can be made for you to fly out of Guatemala City and return the same day. This can be done on Friday or Saturday. This is not part of the FDoA mission, but seeing Tikal is highly recommended. Tikal is a UNESCO Heritage of Humanity Site and is among the world's travel wonders.

Donation for the Mission is $1685 (Please see the itinerary for all that is covered).
