Guatemala Medical Team Opportunity

Organization for Development of the Indigenous Maya (ODIM)

(website link in Left column of this blog)

We are a small group of volunteers and paid local staff working at the grassroots level in the villages of San Juan La Laguna, San Pablo La Laguna, and surrounding rural areas on the shores of Lake Atitlan. We have been working in these villages since 2005 with the recovery effort after the devastation of Hurricaine Stan. Since 2005 our programs have evolved from disaster recovery to programs focused on education and health. Through meeting the root causes and necessities of education and health, people in the villages can strive for a positive future for themselves and their children.

ODIM volunteers also host various VIM teams who come to Guatemala to serve. Medical teams can conduct temporary clinics in the rural area around Lake Atitlan. Or please contact us about how your non-medical work team can help us build or refurbish our clinic, schools or other needed facilities around our village. Thank you for your interest in our mission. Please contact us if you would like more information on what we do or how you can help.
