My story

 

Thank you for visiting Jo and Matt's Big Adventure!

A masive thank you to everyone who has given to our big adventure so far! It has begun!

We are in Guatemala and beginning to learn about the culture, food and how we can help.

Latin Link are a Christian charity who work on various projects in Latin America in partnership with other charities to help meet a variety of needs. Go to www.latinlink.org to find out more.

We are in Guatemala City for 8 months and are working with a charity called Toybox (www.toyboxcharity.org.uk) who are in partnership with Latin Link. We will be a part of their El Castillo project which helps the street children of Guatemala in a variety of way. These  include: street team, day centre, temporary refuge, homes and school.

To add yourself to our blog for updates while we are in Guatemala go to www.traveljournals.net/travelers/jomatt

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Latin Link will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us!

Many thanks for your support.
