Habitat Global Village 2019 Guatemala Team

Guatemala – 2019. The Global Village build team was made up of twelve members, mostly from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The build was a Memorial Build for Hugh Wyatt who passed away in June 2018. All of the team members had been on at least one pervious build with Hugh and Glenda Wyatt. The team was organized and lead by Max Vandersteen and Angela Southworth. Members of the team work for, or volunteer with Habitat for Humanity Edmonton on a regular basis. Our Habitat Guatemala coordinator was Gabriela Meoño who was with us the entire build and she was very ably assisted by Arely who was on a job evaluation. Alex Perry, the Guatemala Global Village Manager also spent some time with us.
