Last year I signed up to go on a mission trip with my church. After meeting with the delegation and learning about the community we would be visiting I decided that I should make health kits for the families. Along with two other girls I collected donations, raised awareness about Guatemala and the struggles they face, and put together a total of 28 health kits. We made two health kits for each household, One for kids, this one had light up toothbrushes, colorful band-aides, kids vitamins, and other health supplies geared towards children. We also made adult kits with similar items. Then In April we traveled to Nueva Guatemala and handed out the Health Kits to this poor neglected community. They all accepted this gift with big smiles and open arms. The Health Kits have helped them to live a healthier and happier life. I look forward to giving them more Health Kits this April and hope that this project is something that will continue for years to come.
