Sr. Martha Ann Kirk, Religious Studies,  Dr. Monica Hernandez , Lecturer, Department of English, and Dr. Heather Barton-Weston, Associate Professor Community Health Education, will lead the service mission program with local hosts Edwin Mendoza of Guatemala and Darlene Jasso, a UIW Com Arts graduate to Guatemala City and surrounding areas. This program offers students the opportunity to earn service-learning hours by assisting indigenous villagers through activities organized by the not-for-profit foundation, Little Angels of Mary. The mission program also included several cultural excursions, such as Antigua, a World Heritage City, Lake Atitlán (Panajachel), the ruins near Santa Apolonia, and much more!

This is a international service learning opportunity and does not complement a UIW course.

Interested students should email Sister Kirk at kirk@uiwtx.edu.
