Funds raised this year will benefit ICC’s ongoing efforts in the Northwest Highland Region of Guatemala. Last year, through a grant from the ICC Educational Foundation, students and faculty built a solar-powered coffee dryer, put pop bottle lights in Mayan homes, and added a pop bottle wall and solar-powered hot water heater at a community center. Funds also have been used to repair a leaky roof at a local school.
