With Tuesday off work for Guatemalan Labor Day, I decided to
finally visit the NGO Long Way Home (http://www.longwayhomeinc.org/en/index.php). I won’t go into details, but there are a few
different and long links that have brought me into contact with Long Way Home. For more info, visit their website, but in
short, they work to build houses and schools out of “trash, are also training
people in this building technique, and at the same time are working on
education and community development projects in San Juan Comalapa.

Tire retaining wall
This is a house that was built for a local single mother. It's got an indoor, greenhouse area, several rooms, and a complete rainwater harvesting system on the roof.
Murals in town
On the way back we passed through Tecpan and made a quick detour to the archaeological site Iximche.
