We started our day at 7.30am. After having our breakfast, we went to a restaurant nearby our hostel and we have a speaker, Juan Skinner. He talked about some interesting facts about the lakes in Guetamala. Some of the things that he have mentioned reminded me of my biology classes which I thought was really educational. Also, he mentioned about the Michigan Great Lakes have great resources! In his sildes, he showed a lot of statictics about the Guetamalan community. His statistics were broken down into categories like gender, educational status and cities. From his talk, I got to know that some of the rural areas are almost 100% illiterate and only about 20% of the people in the city received tertiary education. I felt more appreciative that I got the chance to be educated and just because they were born in a different area, they have a completely different life from me.
After that, we went over to the Lake Atitlan. Also, we took a boat ride for sight seeing! The volcanoes were very huge and I must admit that it was one of the most beautiful views that I have ever seen in my entire life.
I was glad that we got the chance to see this!
By the way, the following are the pictures taken.
Finally, I just want to say that this has been a very wonderful experience working with the Rotaractors of UofM!! Go Blue!
