Screen Shot 2015-07-31 at 10.26.17 AMEight adult volunteers from Coronado were part of the 35 volunteers which AIR-Guatemala hosted over five weeks this summer – weeks of hard work, spectacular scenery, volcanic eruptions, planting beneficial trees and building friendships.

 

During those five weeks they had the joy of planting 3,605 trees by hand alongside Mayan farmers and AIR’s amazing, faithful technicians. They broke previous records by building 14 brick stoves in one month! The stoves have a chimney to prevent smoke inhalation and lung disease, and they use half the amount of firewood as traditional fire-cooking.Screen Shot 2015-07-31 at 10.26.35 AM
