Guatemala & New Orleans
HEDS Up for Los Niños: Every-other-year we attempt to send a service work team outside the United States. For the past six years, Genesis youth and others partnered with HEDS UP for Los Niños working at an orphanage in Guatemala. Past projects have included building bunk beds, updating a playground, painting a beautiful mural on the walls of the children's dining room and, of course, playing with the children.
In 2009 Genesis families and their friends spent the week working at an orphanage, learning Mayan culture, and climbing a volcano. Photos: Guatemala Mission Trip 2009 >
