Members of Seeker's Church arrived in Guatemala mid July 2011 to initiate the construction of a school at the village of Paxixil,Tecpán. This is a village close to a historical site where the Kakchiquel civilization had their capital, which the conquering Spaniards transformed into the first capital for Guatemala.
The Seeker's presence was a great success for both villagers as well as volunteers, as you will see in the following pictures.
