Guatemala

LPGM began a new partnership with Community Cloud Forest Conservation (CCFC) in 2015. One of LPGM’s five-year goals was to establish a partnership that was family friendly and closer to home. Board member Tricia Hall introduced LPGM to CCFC and we are excited to deepen this relationship with multiple transformational travel opportunities to the country.

Our group was transformed before my eyes when our youngest traveler joined hands with a girl from the village school. Later, we were one group, some from a rural village and some from a big city.
