There was a terrible plane accident Sunday with one of CHOICE Humanitarian’s expeditions to Guatemala. About 45 minutes after the plane left Guatemala City, the pilot radioed the tower that they were having engine trouble.  The plane crashed shortly after.  All but three people perished in the crash, including the amazing CHOICE staff members and donor expeditioners.

Our hearts go out to the grieving families.  Please send your thoughts and prayers to our dear friends, who dedicate themselves completely to the eradication of extreme poverty around the world.

CHOICE Humanitarian focuses on sustainable village development by building skills,  capacity and leadership.  Visit their web site to learn more about a marvelous organization!
