Your team will work alongside the Orphan Outreach Guatemala staff to provide care and ministry support for children, teens, and families in marginalized communities in Guatemala City and Chimaltenango. You’ll lead activities and spend time in the homes of families to provide encouragement and support. You’ll also learn more about Guatemala, known as “the Land of Eternal Spring,” thanks to its mild climate and lush landscapes. You’ll experience vibrant Mayan culture, colorful textiles and markets, and communities where ancient traditions remain an important part of daily life.
This trip is designed for fathers and sons connected with WOW Houston who want to make an impact in the world around them. Your trip will be led by experienced Orphan Outreach staff who know your ministry opportunities, the country and the culture intimately.

Where you'll serve:
Community Outreach Center of Chimaltenango
At the CCC, children find a place designed for them. Little ones explore through Montessori learning, while elementary students get after-school homework help. Older students receive support through high school. Every child enjoys hot meals, tutoring, counseling, Bible study and mentoring.
Santa Catarina Pinula Montessori
In Santa Catarina Pinula, children ages 3-6 experience hands-on Montessori learning that sparks curiosity. Each day offers hot meals, caring guidance, and social skills training. Their parents also receive guidance to support their children.
CadaNiño
At CadaNiño, children from vulnerable Guatemala City neighborhoods discover what they’re capable of. In this safe space, students dive into STEM training, get tutoring from mentors, enjoy snacks, explore their faith, and learn to give back to their communities.

Your team leader: Tiffany Wines. Tiffany and her husband traveled to Russia in the late 1990s for the adoption of their two infant children.
