Chapter 1: Who we are
The Team
Our team is made up of volunteers from Switzerland and Guatemala.
Nothing is more important than gaining trust in a project. Trust that the support will arrive at the right place and trust that we will all pull together to make history as a team. Thanks to our personal and close contacts on site and the fact that our team works exclusively on a voluntary basis, we can guarantee this confidence to donors.
Together we are committed to fulfill the dreams of the people in Guatemala.
Our energetic team on the ground in Guatemala makes it possible for us to carry out all the projects. They are our heroes in every single story.
On the other side of the ocean, the Swiss team is planning, organizing and coordinating.
In this way, we complement and support each other and fight together for the well-being and dreams of people in need.
