Today we got a nice wake up call by Dr. Bruce at approximately 6:45 am to begin our day. We went on a tour of the village which was very enjoyable. We went to San Raymundo, which is going to be a center for the women of the village to learn different skills, such as cooking, sewing, laundry, and medicinal plants. Then we went to the place where Guatemalan coffee is picked, dried, peeled, roasted and packaged. We formed an assembly line to carry cinder blocks up the side of a mountain where they will be used to dry the coffee beans. We did this for approximately two and a half hours. On our journey home we ate the most delicious ice-cream one can imagine, it was so good! Stay tuned for tomorrow's adventures!
Here is the website where you can buy your very own delicious Guatemalan coffee that we helped produce:
