New Bathrooms For Godinez

It was a wonderful day of celebration as community leaders, parents, students, and Mission Guatemala staff and team members came together for the grand opening of the expanded bathroom facilities at the public elementary school in the community of Godinez!

Mission Guatemala's teams worked from the summer of 2016 through the end of the year to complete the project at the Godinez elementary school, which had previously had only 2 bathroom stalls for nearly 200 students and 7 teachers. The expanded facility now features separate areas for girls and boys, as well as hand washing sinks and a water tank. In addition, the facility has separate bathrooms for teachers (complete with a shower), and a bathroom with a special small toilet for the schools 3 and 4 year old students.

We are ever thankful to everyone who helped make this project a reality through their support of Mission Guatemala's efforts to "do all the good we can."

We particularly want to thank the nearly 150 volunteers from the following teams who gave of their time and energy to see this project come to fruition!
