Rightttt...here we go...

What?....so we are going to Guatemala.... scary stuff. :) 
When?...29th July to 12 August
Why?....to promote the lives of disabled people and show them the love of God
How?....By giving practical ideas for people to help include disabled people in everyday life and give them biblical based instruction that God is not rejecting/punishing the disabled. 


Guatemala... is one of Latin Americas poorest countries. It's predominantly Roman Catholic.

According to the world health organisation just 2% of the disabled in Guatemala will receive an education. Through the Roof is a charity that have set up a program to try and change this.  (www.throughtheroof.org
We are hoping to go with them this year!  Philippa is going for the second time and I (Christina) am going for the first!


Obviously we have to raise money for this trip and between us we need to raise £2100!
So far we have raised around £700 ...we have several things lined up that we hope will raise money!
(a concert, disability awareness day and a Guatemala evening)

Prayers would be very much appreciated and we'll keep you posted!!
