9. Guatemala Volunteer Trip Recap - with Sam Dungca & Alexis Costa

What a way to start the year in 2023! On February 23rd, Samantha, Alexis & I traveled to the sacred lands of Guatemala to facilitate a 9 day Volunteer Trip to 10 guests from across the East Coast. We had attendees visiting from Massachusetts, New York, South Carolina, Chicago and Florida coming together to support Atitlan Eco School. An Eco School located in Jaibailto, Lake Atitlan. During these days, we were able to purchase school materials for the children, materials for the week, be involved in labor projects, hands on activities, and even give a big donation to the school! Supporting their current building projects along with financial support for the funding of their classroom teacher - Santos! On this episode of CTS, find out behind the scene stories, and experience our Guatemala Volunteer Trip through us! Sharing different perspectives, reflections and journal entries as we re-live our experience after coming back home from a long venture.  Watch our Youtube Video Here! _________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Preview 00:18 Intro  01:42 About Soulflower Yoga & Wellness 03:57 The Power of Three - How Sam & Sophia Met 10:03 Finding Atitlan Eco School 18:55 Days 1 & 2 - Setting the Tone for the Trip 25:00 Behind the Scenes 40:05 Days 3-6 - Volunteering & Reflections 50:48 Day 7 - Field trip Day!
