Guyana Mission 2015 - A brief summary

So another Mission has come and gone... and not a blog post during the trip! A lot of work and a few less hands than usual made that difficult. Many of the daily picture updates by other team members were shared on our 'Mission to Guyana 2015' Facebook page, but now it is time to summarize our work here!  We were also written about in the Guyana Chronicle (click to activate link)
