Now a word from the little guy.....

Before we committed to this project Royce and I had a discussion about expectations. He is going to be doing a little blogging to keep his family up to date on the process and help us learn some things about Guatemala before we go. This will help us both be more invested in the projects we help with. Here is the introduction letter Royce originally sent to his family.

Dear family,

Hi.  I’m writing because I would like to go on a school trip that only the sixth graders are able to go on.  The trip will be to Guatemala and it will take place over seven days taking place on July 7-July 14 with the plane rides on July 7 and 14. During the trip there will be several activities including helping build houses and visiting family that live in Guatemala. Other activities will include participating in a “Day-in-the-life” experience. Some other activities will be on the web page “ http://www.commonhope.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/2018-Vision-Team-Guide-WEB-VERSION.pdf" Unfortunately I don’t have  enough money to go so I am asking if you could help pay for my mom and I to go. The cost of the whole trip is $5000.  Some things we would be able to do that is not the activities that have planed are being able to try their food and see the views they have in Guatemala.  I hope you are able to help us afford to go on the school trip.

Sincerely yours,

Royce
