 Northwest Guatemala with Curamericas: Hope through Health

Summer 2026, for 7-10 days, between the end of June and mid-July.

Estimated around $3,000 per person, including flights, lodging, food, etc. 

Why this type of trip and this organization?

To give our youth an opportunity to experience a larger world, beyond their own state, country, and experience of privilege, and to have a chance to think of themselves as global citizens.

To give our youth a personal experience of the struggles in other countries that impact immigration, and the kind of concrete, creative efforts being made to improve systems. 

To learn from our Guatemalan neighbors and healthcare workers about what is needed to reduce the rates of infant, child, and maternal mortality in northwest Guatemala.

Practicality, our partners at Umstead Park UCC have an established relationship with Curamericas, and Guatemala is a more affordable country for us to get to.

Why now?

To resist a fearful political climate that tells us to hide and back away from big dreams.

Because our youth are the right age and we’ve built up enough momentum in our youth group
partnership that we expect good turnout and a robust, capable, ready to learn group. 

And to communicate to our international neighbors the kind of Americans/Christians we are trying to be.
