Adopt-a-Village

The village La Nueva Sesaltul is located in the northern half of Guatemala known as Peten. The Peten Region was almost destroyed by the civil war lasting 36 years. Many of the villages that exist today are populated by refugees that fled the country during the civil war and have returned to make a home for themselves. These villages are very primitive with limited resources and little or no education available making it very harsh, difficult and many times hopeless.

Calvary International has launched the Adopt-a-Village Project to help meet felt needs as well as spiritual needs in this forgotten region of Central America. The Project includes providing fresh water, food, training and church planting among the villages in this Mayan World. There are many other projects sponsored by organizations such as reforestation and conservation, but hardly any with a concern for the humanity of the Peten Region.
