Come January we are packing our bags and leaving Utah to head to Guatemala City...My wife, my little daughter (who will be 11 months old) and myself will be going down to work with Liceo Cientifico Cumorah--a primary school in Guatemala City. We're postponing my MBA to go down and volunteer for three months. It's a labor of love that we've been working on for 2 years. I'm not really even sure what we'll be doing. It's not that we don't have ideas, but working in the developing world is always a bit nebulous. Our goals include using some of the organizational behavior skills from the MBA program, building up an after school program to teach entrepreneurship and creating businesses to help generate income for the school to survive...Of course when we get down there I'm sure that we'll find that all our assumptions were wrong and we'll have to re-evaluate everything--but that's half of the fun. This will by my sixth trip down, my wife's third and our daughter's first. We can't wait! We look forward to using this blog to keep everyone posted on what's going on.
