The people of Guatemala went through a terrible civil war from 1960 to 1996. During this time 200,000 Mayans and poor Latinos were murdered, thousands disappeared, and many were tortured beyond description. The people of Guatemala are still in recovery.
Since 2006 volunteers from the United States have gone on Mission trips to the remote mountains of Jalapa. The volunteers have held free medical clinics, donated clothing, distributed food, and held Bible seminars.
In 2010 the same volunteers established a 501(c)3 non-profit organization entitled BROKEN CHAINS FOR HUMANITY, INC. Donations from individuals and businesses are tax deductible. Our goal is to bring hope and healing to the people of the mountains.
