Amidst its tropical splendor and cultural riches, there is a small vilage that offers you a chance to give, to learn and to grow. In the central highlands, one and a half hours northeast of Guatemala City, about 20 minutes east of the town of Sanarate, lies the village of Llanos de Morales.
Farm animals wander freely about.
The village has a primary school, a small health clinic, and a preschool, as well as several small stores and a tavern. The people of Llanos are ladinos and wear typical westernized clothes and though Spanish is the native language, a few speak English. The men work the fields while the women grind corn, cook, clean, care for children and often teach. Nearly all the homes have electricity and a few have refrigerators and TVs. A river runs just south of the village, making Llanos a perfect setting in one of the many valleys of Guatemala.
