Build a Green School in Guatemala for 300 Maya

Examining the school model and construction plans

Members of the community of Comalapa have been actively involved with the vocational school project from the beginning, and Long Way Home has been sure to maintain constant communication throughout the process of planning and building the school.

In January through April 2 retaining wall is built

A retaining wall is the first order of business to support the foundations of the future buildings. The walls provide valuable training for the crew and volunteers learning this new type of construction.

Measuring the dimensions of the school

Witness the progress of the vocational school from its humble beginnings to its current status. Here, the workers make the neccessary measurements after a large group of workers and volunteers dug out and leveled the land on the site of the future school.

The crew places littter-filled bottles into walls.

The community brings bottles filled with litter collected from the streets to be used in the construction of non-supporting walls. The use of these materials cleans the environment, builds something useful and also changes the consciousness of the community.
