DIG DEEPER

Where is Chiapas? It borders Guatemala as the southernmost state of Mexico. Why spend a month there...because, the people, culture and landscapes are welcoming and rich with stories. Social justice in an impoverished setting lends itself to rewarding smiles and the proverbial "bueno". To climb temples and run with children and eat savory "tostadas"; these are opportunities that cannot be had on your Mexican cruise vacation...you need to dig deeper, meet the people, understand their struggles and walk by their side. Accompaniment will change the world. Take the first step.
