Support for HOPE worldwide school in Guatemala City
Next week (August 18th), my wife, daughter and I are going to travel to Guatemala to do volunteer work at a HOPE worldwide school in Guatemala City. It is a yearly Medical Brigade trip that is organized for this area where doctors give approx 200 children free medical services.
As volunteers, we are looking to take with us some needed supplies for the project.
We want to see if anyone is interested in helping out with some supplies we are gathering: Sports equipment (balls, Frisbee, etc), Children’s sneakers and shoes, over the counter medicines, vitamins and children’s over the counter reading glasses and school supplies.

Marlene Berthelot’s visit to the Central Jersey Church of Christ was truly inspiring. From the moment she arrived on Thursday evening the planning and discussions regarding the future began. Marlene is a savvy business woman with 20 years of experience owning and operating 3 Florida Nursing Homes. She holds a Bachelor of Science and master’s degree from Boston University. She has known the sweeter side of the American dream and even owned the Florida home of the famous Babe Ruth. She is no stranger to hard work and managing challenging and difficult situations. 36 years ago, she and co-founder Marie Jessie Pierre promised each other they would return to Haiti some day to help. This pact was made over a cup of tea.
We will begin collecting donations for Haiti every Sunday!
