Pre-Team Meet and Greet

Sandi Brangers and Henry Elam
Children of the Americas takes the largest medical/surgical/dental team currently going to Guatemala on an annual basis. With over 100 COTA volunteers every January, there are many  faces for new team members to learn.

At our holiday gathering we share food, friendship and we disperse team t-shirts and badges. Hotel reservations are discussed, questions answered and a slide show gives the new team members a chance to see first-hand what we do during our team trips. 
The next time we see each other we will be in Guatemala.
Happy holidays to all of our wonderful volunteers!
