As the days go by we are getting to know the Guatemalan masons on our worksite. They are hard working, great guys who are as curious and interested in us as we are in them. Today, with the help of our interpreter, we shared some basic information about our age, family status, work, etc. We also talked a lot about the Canadian climate which they are fascinated by.
One question they raised was why do you come here? A thought provoking question for sure to which we responded:
We have come to show you that we care about you and the people of Guatemala. We want to share our good fortune and many blessings with you. We want to help create a caring global community. We want to learn more about you, your people and your country.
In another conversation the mother of one of the home owners simply says "Thank you for your sacrifice in coming here". We respond "It is not a sacrifice, it is our pleasure and honour."
