  Many students are interested in volunteering or giving back in some way.  One way you can do this is by offering to use one of your two checked bags to bring materials down to Guatemala. One of our regular students has a nonprofit that benefits local projects in Guatemala.  She needs help bringing down materials donated to her organization.  If you are interested in helping, you can reach her at clairethomasduckwitz@gmail.com. You can also visit their nonprofit, United in Service Latin America, at www.service-usla.org
