Marywood University Service Trip 2009

From December 29, 2008 to January 7, 2009, Sister Donna M. Korba, IHM and Joseph X. Garvey served as chaperones for the Marywood University International Service Trip to Guatemala. Fran Garvey accompanied Sister Donna, Joe and nine Marywood students in service to the people of San Lucas Toliman.

The group lived and worked in the town of San Lucas and participated in hands-on service in coffee picking and production, construction of a women’s center, a reforestation project, and the organization of school supplies for the local children of the town. As part of the experience, the group visited the mission in Chichicastenango as well.
