On October 12, we started construction of a classroom in Panabajal, Guatemala (10 miles from Comalapa), and completed it on November 6. The success of this project was the direct result of our collaboration with Echohab.org, Team Up, Wheeling to Help, volunteers from all over the world, donors, and members of the Panabajal community. The beneficiary of the project was a school in Panabajal where the classrooms are overcrowded. Because of this new building, the school will be able to split the 5th-grade class into two rooms. In typical LWH fashion, the walls were built out of grain sacks filled with dirt and is powered by a solar system. 2026 is the third year in a row that we have done this. We thank our partners, all of the volunteers, the community of Panabajal, and our donors.
