Expedition News:

The holidays are busy as we send out three expeditions of volunteers to add the love, hope, and personal touch to projects that are going on throughout the year. Family Humanitarian began with a vision of providing families with the opportunity to serve in developing countries, but that now represents only a small portion of what we do. With in-country staff in Uganda, Ghana, Zambia, and Guatemala the work we do continues year around. Expeditions provide an opportunity for families to experience just a taste of the service Family Humanitarian is providing.

The Thanksgiving and Christmas groups in Guatemala are bringing approximately sixty malnourished families with young children garden boxes and water filters. These families are referred to Family Humanitarian by local social workers and in order to qualify for our help they take a series of classes on gardening, nutrition, and cooking. These expeditions will be blessing 100's of students by building much needed desks. They will also be funding and putting love and labor in helping to build a medical clinic.

There is currently a group experiencing some of the service we provide in Uganda. They are working on furniture for a newly constructed school, paid for by a very generous Family Humanitarian donor. They will add a personal touch and extra love to multiple borehole opening ceremonies. They will have the mind blowing experience of seeing the original water sources that these boreholes replace. They will bless the lives of about 100 additional families through distribution of water filters in conjunction with sanitation training. The Christmas group has also fund raised to give away 143 goats!
