Synergy 2015 Conference

This week, staff members, Nathan, David, and James, will be attending an international conference known a Synergy. Synergy is a yearly event that happens in some of the largest urban areas in the world, and this year it happens to be held in Guatemala making it extremely convenient for Engadi to be a part of, and actually partner with in hosting.

The week long conference led by the Urban Training Collaborative (UTC) seeks to unite all types of organizations, political leaders, pastors, anthropologists, businessmen, and others to explore viable strategies of renovation transformation within an urban setting.

We seek to gain insight in ways that we can improve the innovation of Engadi Ministries and better deliver #hope and #brotherhood to the neighborhood of Paraíso within the slums Guatemala City.

Trashcan Community Service

The boys within the Derek Program have been busy working to take responsibility for and improve their community over the past few weeks.

While Paraíso is often characterized by the amount of trash polluting the communities, these boys have decided to change their community by creating, implementing and servicing public trash cans. These young men scavenged the community to find plastic bottles which they then fashioned into public trash cans. These cans will be placed in public areas and maintained by the boys.
Here they are working diligently on the project. We can’t wait to update you with the final product!
