Transformational Journeys

It's with great sadness we share the passing of Dennis Evans. Dennis was the founder of the San Lucas Tolimán Scholars program that serves hundreds of students in the area with scholarships to continue their education after primary school. Dennis frequently spoke with TJ groups and shared his knowledge about the education system in Guatemala. He served in the community of San Lucas Tolimán for over 25 years. We mourn his loss with the community today. Rest in peace Dennis.

El británico Dennis Evans, fundador de San Lucas Toliman Scholars, fue un educador y ex hermano de La Salle quien vivió durante más de veinticinco años en Guatemala. Fue docente en varias escuelas de Centroamérica. Llegó a San Lucas Tolimán en 1999, como voluntario.

No recibía salario, vivía de un pequeño ingreso del Reino Unido: Su motivación, hasta su ultimo suspiro fue: "Cuando veo a los estudiantes de familias necesitadas lograr alcanzar sus sueños, eso es lo que hace que valga la pena".

Descanse en Paz Hermano Dennis Evans.

This is what community collaboration looks like! Coordinating the distribution of material for 30 stoves isn't easy. Single mom Romelia took on the volunteer role of community project coordinator and our liason to keep things flowing in her community. Projects don't happen without local support!

A lot of preparation goes into planning the projects Transformational Journeys groups participate on. Today we are moving and distributing material for 30 fuel efficient wood burning cook stoves that the Kingswood United Methodist groups will build this month!
