Alumni Trip: Return to Glory

Alumni Trip: Return to Glory - June 2005

Jane building classroom

In June 2005, a small Team Tobatí alumni group returned to Paraguay to again work with and assist the poor of Tobatí, Paraguay. The team worked on the construction of a classroom at CONADOMI high school in the center of Tobatí. The squad also installed windows at a half dozen rural schools, installed water pipes at poor rural homes, and also worked in Tobatí sugar cane fields. This very successful trip is part of the team's ongoing efforts to make Team Tobatí an organization that young people can be part of for a long time and not just a commitment during high school. The college students that made up the first ever TT alumni trip greatly enjoyed returning to the small community of Tobatí and again working to help the region. Click below to see pictures.
