The following is a list of the participants from UND: “By learning about the little resources these organization have to help these individuals has taught me to never give up on trying to help someone.” “I feel humbled to see what GCP provides to the Guatemalan people and children,” said one of the volunteers. Team members stayed with Guatemalan host families during their trip so they may be completely immersed in the culture. The UND group is one of the many volunteers who have joined GCP’s Service Team Experience to help change the face of poverty. Joni Tweeten, a UND Nursing clinical instructor and a GCP veteran, led the volunteers on the trip and hopes to establish a course at UND which includes a GCP service trip. The UND team worked at GCP’s Dreamer Center School, Casa Jackson Malnutrition Center, Santa Madre Homeless Shelter, area hospitals and performed home visits with GCP’s social work department.
The service trip took place during UND’s Spring Break.
