The scales, held by the Mam women will be used to weigh babies as they track progress on their nutrition issues.As in past years, our church’s Outreach Committee will partner with the Association of Mam Christian Women for Development in this year’s Intercultural Encounters visit to Guatemala from May 11 to 22, 2020.
With assistance from CEDEPCA, a Guatemalan ministry, the Intercultural Encounters program designs and facilitates experiences of encounter, reflection, dialogue, and mutual service between people of the United States and Guatemalan communities in search of a more just, tolerant, and equitable world.
As requested by the Mam association, a team from our church will partner with their members in conducting health fairs in underserved communities to identify and treat undernourished children.
