The Work... a slideshow from Joel's factfinding trip.


This years projects include: Roofing, Eaves trough repairs, fencing, rebuilding stairs, supporting walls and wood replacement, kitchen and bathroom renovations, plumbing, concrete repairs, and of course... painting!!!

Joel created a slide show from his fact-finding trip to Guyana a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if it will embed properly here (fingers crossed), but if not, the link to access the slideshow is: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12y77lhd0s4khEA3FCHLa9dvNnZAJR4HczSKiEm9RIQs/edit?usp=sharing


Of note, in addition to the work, this year a visit to your doctor to confirm what vaccinations are recommended for you is essential. The sooner, the better! Due to the rain and the drainage systems along the road, mosquitos are a problem and they carry a variety of diseases in Guyana. Protection from getting bitten will be essential and as the drainage along the roads often includes biological matter, hygiene will also require careful attention!

We have confirmed the current availability of flights for the planned trip period of January 23 - February 6th... but we cannot proceed with booking until your applications are received. If you are serious about participating this year, please contact us ASAP and we will forward the form to you (if you have not already received it)!
