PROJECT REPORTS:
Aselsi Mission, Guatemala
KARIS expanded its support for Aselsi by funding two nurses to join a team supporting the Aselsi Mission in Chichicastenango, Guatemala. The visiting nurses provided training on current procedures and techniques to indigenous staff who run the Mission’s medical center. The training was impactful and Aselsi invited them to return to continue the training with the financial support of KARIS. In addition, KARIS President Nick Giancola led a mission team that built housing for a single-mother and her two daughters. The team also provided food for local outreach programs.
