5 Days of Giveaways: Day 3 – Guatemala Prize Pack.

Ever since Beth booked a pair of $8 tickets (Ah! Spirit Airlines) to Guatemala, we’ve been in love with the country and its people.

I’ll never forget that first morning we rolled in Antigua after a red-eye from Los Angeles into Guatemala City. We were tired but also had that electric feeling that filters through your body like a live wire whenever you step into a new destination. With no particular place to be, we stepped into a restaurant for breakfast and coffee; my god was that coffee delicious. A few years later during our volunteer trip with Cooperative for Education (CoEd), we ended up back at that same restaurant for lunch with two of its scholarship students.

Beth and I are so happy that we got to travel to Guatemala with CoEd as part of its media fellowship. Their Snapshot Tour took us into schools and communities, allowing us to connect with locals in ways we never imagined. We also got to see firsthand the important work Cooperative for Education is doing on a daily basis with its reading programs aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty in Guatemala through education.

They are a truly amazing non-profit and Beth and I are proud to call them friends. In fact, Chachy and I recently sported my CoEd bowtie in honor of #GivingTuesday. If you’ve been thinking about going to Guatemala, then I’d highly recommend looking into one of CoEd’s Snap Shot tours. And if you ever have any questions for us about trip to Guatemala with them, just let us know!

The good folks at Cooperative for Education put together this awesome Guatemala prize pack for our giveaway and we couldn’t be more stoked to give to one of you guys. The prize pack features a bag of Guatemalan coffee, a T-shirt, a bag made in Guatemala and a book about CoEd and Guatemala.

We wanted to make this a fun holiday giveaway, so we made it as simple as possible to enter.

Since we asked you guys to share your favorite type of holiday cookies with us, we thought it would only be right if we shared ours too. This is definitely a tough one, but if I had to choose just one, then I’m going to go with the miniature cheese cake cookies my mom makes. Man, I love those things! Beth, on the other hand, has a soft spot for Anise cookies, because they remind of her Nonna who used to cook them every Christmas.
