Guatemala Mission Trip 2018
Bishop Watterson sent 27 students and six chaperones on service mission trips to Guatemala this summer. They worked with International Samaritan, a Jesuit founded organization whose mission is to serve those in extreme poverty living and working in garbage dump communities. International Samaritan provides residents in these
garbage dump communities with basic needs, like sanitation, health care, education, and housing. The two Bishop Watterson groups worked at schools in Estelí and
Guatemala City. During the day, the high school students worked hand-in-hand with the school and local community members on construction projects such as building new classrooms, renovating a patio area, and painting.
