Global Works & Limitless Horizons Ixil

When we step beyond our fears of the unknown, it can be a life-changing experience. You know this – you lived it on your trip with Global Works! Maybe you opened your heart and mind on your trip, and your outlook on life changed as a result. Perhaps you even changed the lives of the people you interacted with, through a service project or a conversation across cultural boundaries. We imagine that you accomplished things on your trip that you never thought possible and that you returned home with amazing memories and a personal understanding of how much in our lives we can take for granted.
How can you keep the spirit of that trip – community, culture, and service – with you?

This year, we at Global Works are excited about providing you with an opportunity to continue giving back. We’re partnering with a local organization in Guatemala, Limitless Horizons Ixil (LHI), which has been a host of Global Works student trips like yours.  By making a gift to LHI this holiday season, you’ll once again be joining our collective commitment to making the world a better place, one community at a time.

What transpired was an idea for them to do just that, and in doing so, to raise money and awareness for Reading Village.  Reading Village is a non-profit organization that focuses on children in Guatemala while working collaboratively with residents of impoverished villages to create programs that develop a culture of reading.
