Hammer to Hammock, A Volunteer Travel Story: Day 4

Zoomer | November 15th, 2013

We meet school principal Igor’s mom, Megally, and Ada the school’s cook. And at the end of day four, we only have a day and a half left to finish the classroom.

On assignment for Zoomer Magazine, Rebecca Field Jager recently joined 18 Canadians and headed down to Guatemala to participate in a unique style of vacation. The group, comprised mostly of boomers with little construction experience, will spend the first part of the trip building a classroom addition at a primary school for under-privileged kids. The second part, they’ll spend soaking up the culture, cuisine and countryside of this spectacular destination. Hammer to Hammock, our daily video series, captures the highlights as Rebecca and her cohorts build structures, friendships and memories.
