Building Homes in Guatemala
John Lothrop gave a presentation on his recent trip to Guatemala to build homes. John and Ron Sack led a group of eleven people from Crete and Lincoln to help build four homes in the small Mayan village of Aldea San Jose Xepatan. They worked with the non-profit organization Constru Casa (see
www.construcasa.org). In addition to building homes, the group was able to do some sightseeing in Antigua, Guatemala and at Lake Atitlan.
