It has been a tough week for residents of my hometown Norwell, Massachusetts, and especially the high school's class of 2009.

This February Break, 11 Lyndon students decided to do something different with their time off. Instead of going on vacation or heading home to visit family, these students traveled to Guatemala to volunteer their time at a school and to learn about the history, politics, and social issues that the people of Guatemala face.
