At the end of our tour, Joel took us to his foundation: Believe Guatemala. This is a non-profit that provides workshops for women from the area. They mainly focus on children in the area through scholarships and a sponsorship program.
Believe Guatemala wants to help these kids to succeed in life and have a better future.
