Located in the volcanic mountains between Guatemala City and Antigua, Hogar Miguel is a privately funded home to 35 boys between ages 6 and 16 who are orphaned, or who have been abused by their families and removed from their homes.  Karen has spent ten years building this program to provide a safe and loving loving home for these children by providing food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, psychological counseling, tutoring services, English, music, and art classes, computer training, trade skills, life-skills training, and Biblical teaching.  This program and facility is a long-term solution to equip these boys for a fruitful, healthy, and productive life upon leaving the home at age 18.  Nearly 100% of all funding for this home is raised privately by Karen through donations from Christian and humanitarian organizations.

All five crews will spend time at Hogar Miguel helping to serve their medical needs, leading a Vacation Bible School program,  exchanging some cultural experiences, and working on several major work projects.  Read more about Hogar Miguel in the blog.
