Summer in Guatemala
This summer, the Nourish Chapter at Texas A&M University will be headed to Guatemala for its first summer Project. The Chapter will be partnering with FUNCEDESCRI, a Guatemalan non-profit dedicated to promoting community development and sustainable agriculture within the Mayan farming communities of Campur, Cunén and Nebaj. FUNCEDESCRI empowers farming families to achieve food security by providing workshops on organic farming and nutrition, defraying the cost of agricultural tools and seeds, supporting projects that improve public health, and training community health, nutrition and agricultural promoters. The organization currently serves 2,400 families in 80 communities.
Texas A&M is still looking for additional students to accompany its Chapter members on the project. If you are interested in going on this project, please contact Melissa Saucedo: msaucedo5@neo.tamu.edu. Project Dates are May 30 - July 5, so you will return back home with half a summer left to relax. Basic Spanish skills are a plus.
